Summary
Users expect to be able to set custom statuses (Away, Do not Disturb, On Holiday, Visiting the France office, etc...) in productivity contexts, and they're a nice to have in most others.

Intended Outcome
Support custom statuses. Consider setting autoresponders for people contacting you when away to receive an automated reply.

You can already PUT a status_msg, though? https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#put-matrix-client-r0-presence-userid-status element just doesn't display them anywhere.

Long time since last update on this issue. It is really important to allow people to hide their online status. currently all messengers do support hiding the online status.
I have seen that there is an api call "set_presence" which allows this. but this such a configuration should be available in client.
As users may install different clients, a server side (home server) configuration for the whole account which controls the
online status, would be great.

In LABs flags there is no flag that allows to being "offline", only the read receipt can be muted.
Ar there any plans to set this issue to a higher priority?

Thanks a lot
