Never ending battle

I killed a mob 5 minutes before maintenance and then quickly jumped over its corpse to get to a chest and unlock it (it was an assassin beetle and its AoE was still spamming as I jumped over it). While I was unlocking the chest I had the red flashing screen saying I was in combat but it still let me unlock the chest and grab the loot.

I then traveled to a town to log off and couldn't. It kept telling me I was in combat despite the fact I had not been in combat for a few minutes. I tried opening inventory/menus and then going out but still kept getting red screen in combat. I was just trying to send a report to a GM when maintenance kicked in and I was booted out. I'm hoping it wont still be saying I'm in combat when I go back in but just in case.

Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a way to get out of 'combat' in this situation?

    Yeah, the only way I stopped it was by going and killing a few more mobs. I figured that because after the "check" to get out of battle happened when I killed the beetle, I then stepped into an active AoE which trigged the battle again, since I don't kill a mob (and there is no mob to reset the switch) you get into an endless loop. Hopefully this works for you if it happens again.

    Yeah... and there have been times when killing more mobs didn't fix the problem. I've had to force quit ESO and then log back in.

    There's definitely a problem with one end of the connection (client or server) recognising when combat has ended, even if you don't get 'stuck' it can take many seconds for you to be able to interact with objects such as doors which aren't usable in combat.

    Seems to me a packet gets lost and so whichever end is waiting simply carries on waiting.

    Annoying, but nowhere near as bad as in WOW 10 years after its release, I regularly get stuck in combat there even now.
