Occasional 400 Error on Posting Attendance [REOPEN]

Original Text: "Hi,

I am getting an issue with the POST attendance endpoint, occasionally on some requests I am getting a 400 "Overlapping Attendance Period" error even though there were no attendance period that I am writing too. Even more confusing with this error it is still writing the Attendance period however I lose the 'context' of the attendance as I need to write the AttendanceId to an external system for future editing.

Any help with this would but very much appreciated.

Thank You."

Took a while to get the requested data, but I have managed, which is located below.
