PL‑300 Exam Revoked After Official Break — Urgent Escalation | TrackingID#2603050050003216
Hello, I first contacted OnVUE, and they immediately revoked my PL‑300 exam. Microsoft later confirmed the revocation for this reason: “unauthorized interruption (unscheduled break) and leaving the exam environment.” However, I used an official Microsoft‑authorized unscheduled break by clicking “Take a Break”, exactly as documented for the PL‑300 exam. I still had 40 minutes remaining and 6 case‑study questions left. It is 2026, yet there is still a major contradiction between: Microsoft’s rules (which allow official breaks), and OnPersonVUE’s enforcement (which treats them as violations). Which rules should candidates follow? Also, on Liberty Munson’s official announcement: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/skills-hub-blog/unscheduled-breaks-now-available-in-most-exams-without-requesting-in-advance/3287005 several candidates reported the exact same issue, and Microsoft granted them a free retake. Why not me? I request: review by a higher‑level Microsoft Certification authority; confirmation whether Liberty Munson’s guidelines are still valid; and, if so, the free retake I am entitled to under Microsoft policy. Please act quickly — my career depends on this certification. MC TrackingID#2603050050003216 candidate id: MS1101060667 registration id: 528982313
