Is Xfinity Support broken? Requesting admin assistance

In response to a question I posted I was invited to send a Direct Message to Xfinity Support, and did so. But there was never any response. In addition, ever since I sent that DM, the Xfinity Support icon in the DM editor's "Conversations" list has changed from a white X on a purple disk, to an all black disc:

The top part of this image shows what the icon looks like when I select a message sent to XS a few months ago, and the bottom part shows what the icon looks today like when I type "Xfinity Support" and select it. What happened? Is something broken? Am I blocked from sending DMs to XS?

Requesting admin assistance.

I don't think you're blocked.  You should see that second image.

Thanks for checking. DMs to XS were working for me last year, but when I responded to the invitation in https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/billing/autopay-and-paperless-discount/6998f6e2fe6a2a161954ec87?commentId=69a4676eabb1661cdf19dc5c on March 1st 2026, the message I entered seemed to send normally, but I got not responses. And when I went back to my DMs to see what happened, there was the Black Hole as pictured above.

Any ideas how I might proceed from here?

ETA: Checked in Firefox, Chrome (desktop and Android phone), and Edge. Same result in each. Also, DMs to other UserIDs seem to work and have normal icons. It seems only "Xfinity Support" is messed up.
