I understand it’s not a duty period but it’s a known interrupting of a required rest period. You get the call for a 12 hr later duty period. Your now in a required rest period where they cannot call you. But now they know your not resting with the PS reservation is the problem. When your just commuting to work. That’s not a required rest period. You already had that after your last duty or rdp. The faa very well could have a problem with that and if they do it would hurt everyone’s long call language.
