Dying zoning into an instance locks you if the ID was already cleared

WoW Classic Season of Discovery

Joined a pug AQ20 unaware that the host was already locked 6/6 AQ20. Tried zoning in and due to the wpvp outside zoned in with prob 9 dots and died after loading into AQ20. After the run back to zone back in I find out the ID is cleared and this locked me to the instance. Am I just SoL or can blizzard actually do something

i’ve never seen them unlock a lockout.

I accidentally zoned in cleared raids and got insta-locked before.

I’m sorry.
