Failed to edit ingestion pipeline PostgreSQL slot name cannot be empty or null

I'm trying to add tables to an existing SQL server CDC ingestion pipeline and today am getting this mysterious error message.

Failed to edit ingestion pipeline

PostgreSQL slot name cannot be empty or null

Have not encountered this before. Is this simply a bug in the latest rollout?

After I posted this I noticed that the gateway compute for this pipeline was repeatedly failing and retrying. This was resolved by increasing our quota of "Standard FS Family" compute on Azure. And when that was resolved the above error also disappeared. So my bad for not checking the gateway first but just between you and me, should that have been the right error message?
