Ops at reduced capacity

"OPS AT REDUCED CAPACITY" NOTAMS you refer to generally include AWK NOT AVBL, SVY OPS NOT AVBL and perhaps LIMITED SIS PROVIDED.
The NOTAM gives the authority to the individual ATC to deny certain types of operations eg Survey Operations which might involve operating across traffic patterns, and often at non-standard levels eg FL152.
It also allows the Enroute sector to ask for traffic metering (extra spacing) to be applied. As an example, for flights departing YBBN for say YSSY, so rather than flights perhaps being 90 seconds apart, the spacing might be 5 minutes. The same number of flights will be depart over the day but they are likely to be spaced out further.

Actually delayed flights could result in missed connections, crews out of hours, aircraft unable to meet airport curfews eg SYD, ADL, or arriving a destination after ATC have closed for the night eg CBR

Guessing that's what the #187 post refers to about avbl staff for de-combining/splitting sectors ? Also would delay or stop non-urgent level changes and non standard high workload re-routing etc I assume ?
And maybe long pauses on a/g acknowledgments whilst they are completing other tasks others may normally do for them ?
Also maybe refraining from endless useless requests for nearer runways due running late etc etc may help ?

Just saw on 7NEWS them briefly mentioning a survey 5,000 pilots took, reporting that 1/3 of them reported having delays due to ATC shortages. They did briefly mention TIBA at the end.

I understand that recently jet traffic from Sydney to Brisbane (basin ?) was restricted to one every 8 minutes. Whether this was TRA/TIBA or simply "Operational Restrictions" I don't know.
Such delays and restrictions ripple through the network and affects all agencies.
