15 | 15 | ## Symptoms |
16 | 16 |
|
17 | | -When a case is closed and then reopened in Dynamics 365 Customer Service, the [SLA timer](/dynamics365/customer-service/administer/add-timer-control-case-form-track-time-against-sla) continues from the previous time instead of restarting from the beginning. You expect the SLA timer to reset and start anew upon reopening the case. |
