Failed deployments in the Activity log

[teemukom]

Describe the bug
When running EPAC I can see failed Deployments in the activity log. The policy definitions / assignments are still correctly placed and Deploy-PolicyPlan returns no errors. The deployment error is pretty non-informative:
"properties": { "statusCode": "BadRequest", "serviceRequestId": null, "statusMessage": "{\"error\":{\"code\":\"InvalidRequestContent\",\"message\":\"The deployment request content is invalid. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deploy for usage details.\"}}", "eventCategory": "Administrative", "entity": "/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/EPAC/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/pid-fe9ff1e8-5521-4b9d-ab1d-84e15447565e", "message": "Microsoft.Resources/deployments/write",

To Reproduce
Deploy any change (assignment, definition, exemption)
Watch the management group level action log
Monitor for failed deployments

Expected behavior
No failed Deployments

Screenshots

EPAC Version
v10.5.1

This could be from our telemetry, it attempts to create a deployment which will fail, we do this so our backend tools can discover the actions that users are trying to run. https://azure.github.io/enterprise-azure-policy-as-code/#opt-out-of-telemetry-data-collection-telemetryoptout If you set the telemetry opt out to false in global-settings.jsonc it should stop. In terms of telemetry we simply collect that someone has executed one of the EPAC scripts, not details about what is being deployed is ever collected. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Thanks for the response @anwather. Seems like this was it. Might be good to have note in the documentation.
