Ticket Reopen Rate (RR) is the percentage of resolved support tickets that customers reopen, signalling the issue was not fully resolved. Tracking this metric gives support teams a direct measure of resolution quality. A rising reopen rate can point to gaps in agent training, product knowledge, or escalation processes. Left unaddressed, it erodes customer trust and increases support volume.

Ticket Reopens is a count of how many times closed support tickets are reopened after a customer responds with an unresolved issue. When a customer replies to a ticket marked as solved, the ticket automatically reopens and receives an open status. Each reopen increments the count by one. A high Ticket Reopens count signals that resolutions aren't sticking — either because agents are closing tickets prematurely or because the underlying issue isn't being fully addressed.
