Order matters
Policies are checked in order. A ticket uses the first active policy whose conditions match. Use Move up and Move down in the list.
If you delete a policy, tickets keep the SLA history they have, but new updates no longer match it.

Use automations on the SLA conditions to warn the team in time. See Get alerted before an SLA breach.
