Thanks @Jim Mayer. You are right that any single conversation metric-based rule allows one condition per rule as i.e. instantaneous alert rule - https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/work-with-alerts/. I thought you were not able to see only the single conv total wait metric and assumed other single conv metrics were accessible, which led me to think that this could be a bug.
Our team is also validating the character limit for the rule name and I will let you know once I have an update.
Thanks,

It looks like single conversation total wait rule has to be the only condition for the alert, cannot be used with additional conditions. Its a system limitation, though really should be with multiple queue level conditions.
For the character limit, I was inputting 145 characters with spaces. I had initially backslashes in the name but tested without and no luck either. I reduced it to 99 characters (since the name is what is sent to those alerted) and it worked, but it appears anything over 100 characters isn't allowed.

@Jim Mayer - Just to confirm, for the single conversation total wait-based rule, are you defining the rule for a specific queue? (example shown below). If it's not showing up, it could be a bug that we need to look into. I recommend logging a support ticket with the details so we can take a look as soon as possible. I'll have to get back to you on the character limit related question. How many characters is your rule name? I tested with a long name (30 characters) and I can save the rule fine. The issue you are running into might be related to something else.

Thanks,

Thank you Jason, Mikaylah, and Nikhil for the answers, that was a great help and what I needed!
Additionally, on https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/real-time-agent-queue-and-user-presence-metrics/?theme=simplified , on the Queue Metrics tab there is a metric titled "Single conversation total wait" but I am not seeing a way to select this specific metric. I have my alert set to Conversation Metric, is there something I am missing?
Also, is there a character limit or not allowed characters for the rule name? This doesnt appear to be mentioned in the documentation either but I am getting a failure to create if the rule name exceeds a certain threshold or

@Jim Mayer - the limit on the number of alert rules that can be created, per user is 100 and the limit on the number of rules that can be enabled, per user is 50. We are going to update the documentation with this information.
The SMS origination number is region-dependent and is static. For SMSs sent within US, that is the 919 number. On the final point, you are right that there will not be any additional charges on Genesys subscription when using SMS notifications of Genesys Cloud Alerting functionality.
Thanks,
