I guess the main thing to check first is whether the user has the correct permission to receive the calls while Off Queue:
Routing > Conversation > Accept Off-Queue – To accept a direct routing interaction while the direct routing agent is Off queue and Available

Subject: Direct Agent Routing (Available and Off Queue) Is Not Working As Expected
I am testing the ACD Transfer action and Direct Agent feature in an Architect Inbound Call flow. A backup queue has been configured for the primary queue. I have verified that the queue and user are getting set correctly on the call by the ACD Transfer action. The call is transferred to the queue while the agent is in an Available status and Off Queue, which is required for the use case. However, the agent never receives the call, as if they are unavailable. According to the documentation, the agent can be either On Queue or Available and Off Queue. Is more configuration required on the queue or the user to make this work? Any thoughts on what I may be missing?
