Calendly Double Booked Me
Quick answer
Calendly double-books when conflicting events are marked Free, sit on an unchecked calendar, or when the event type allows overlapping bookings. Check the conflict calendars, set events to Busy and review the Free/busy rules.
Most likely fix: Set the blocking event to Busy
