Reading Hotspot Active and Inactive Session Information

WayaDesk / Hotspot billing

Session information describes observed access, not a complete history of a customer’s relationship with the business. A customer may have paid entitlement while currently offline, or an old observation may remain visible after a connection disappears.

Separate account and session state

Use the entitlement record to understand what the customer has bought. Use the current router observation to understand whether a session is seen. A zero-session result alone does not establish that the customer has failed to pay or that the account should be deleted.

Check freshness before acting

LinkDesk’s health design distinguishes fresh router observations from older information that becomes unknown. If the router has not been reached recently, avoid treating the last successful observation as a live guarantee. Check the host-to-router path and the latest successful poll.

• Ask whether the customer is attempting to connect now.
• Confirm the relevant credential and access method.
• Review the time of the observation before changing service.

A useful support example

A customer says a voucher works on one phone but not another. Inspect simultaneous-login limits and current sessions before replacing the voucher. The problem may be an expected package restriction, a stale observation or a connectivity issue rather than a missing payment.

Keep cleanup deliberate

Removing an old record can remove useful evidence. Follow the supported management process and retain enough context to explain customer access later. Dashboard tidiness should not take priority over understanding which service is active and why.
