What happens when a client calls ClientAPI.Matchmake then does not connect to a returned server?

I have always assumed when the PlayFab matchmaker matches a user into a game server it reserves a slot for them, but what happens if that user never connects? I am having trouble finding information on how the matchmaker would reclaim that "leaked" slot, other than by our servers manually canceling the game.

Correct - a slot is reserved. If that server doesn't redeem the matchmaker ticket for that user within two minutes, the matchmaker removes that reservation.
