Trash farm runs of Hyjal, appear to retroactively lock you to the raid ID long after you leave

I participated in a couple Hyjal trash-only raid groups (two different groups back to back), both of which never killed any bosses - just a few waves and died to reset the waves back down to the beginning.

first group was without any guildees, second group had ~5 guildees in it. (none of them were saved and locked out of running hyjal. - it appears the first group locked trash raid only pugs long after they left that raid.)

After finished with the 2nd trash raid, went to shatt and Logged out for a few hours until raid time, logged back in for raid, and I was unable to zone into Hyjal, chat prompt said I already had a Hyjal raid ID and could not enter this raid. Checked my social tab’s Raid Info, and I had a Hyjal Raid Lockout ID number. When trying to enter the raid in a raid group by myself, it brought up a prompt saying this Hyjal instance was cleared, all 5/5 bosses were dead. - then I got a 1 minute force kick timer for not being in the group. (despite the entire raid being cleared and empty.)

It seems I may have got locked to the “first” hyjal trash run i went into, after switching groups and joining a separate instance ID.

This seems like a serious issue. I did some trash farming last night and it would ruin a lot of plans this week if I were to find out im locked.

Same issue I had, I suspect.

They changed the lockout a year or two ago on retail to make it much harder to do trash runs for rep.

This issue still seems to be a thing. A player in our trash farm group got locked after the 3rd run while no one else did.

Players that are actively logging out while in raid are getting locked to the ID
