One of the back toilets was out of commission. Rows 1-5 used one while 26 rows had two in the rear. Accordingly, Comfort+ gets no waiver and is literally last in line for "relief."
Not sure about consequences but maybe you had the same FAs I had on a flight about a year ago. Mid Cabin lav on a 757 was out. FAs initially tried enforcing a “no Economy passengers using the FC cabin lav”, which I and many others ignored as I found it rather pathetic that these FAs thought it was somehow acceptable to have an 180 Y passengers try to use only 2 lavs on a 5 hour transcon flight - a 90:1 passenger to lav ratio.
