Further issues after proctor/exam problems?

I took an exam this evening and it was the first time I’ve ever experienced an “issue” during an exam. I’ve been at this a couple years now so I’ve felt lucky so far!

I had just wrapped up the test and was going back to review my bookmarked questions when I got a message from a (different) proctor saying they wanted to “fix that for me” or something along those lines. No one had said anything to me and my proctor switched several times in between me starting the exam and going to review, so I was like… fix what?

They said my camera wasn’t on / my screen wasn’t showing. My camera looked on to me (the webcam lights were on) and when I reviewed on the recording screen, I could see myself / my screen just fine. I don’t know when the issue started. Anyway, they paused my test and it turned into me having to restart Guardian several times and get back into the exam with someone new. I just glanced over my bookmarks and submitted the exam at that point.

The upside, I passed the exam! But now I’m just wondering if there might be any issues I should anticipate regarding the apparent lack of camera for some period?

I see folks on here talking about integrity issues/violations and what not following an exam and even getting kicked out, so just wondering if anyone has encountered this sort of thing happening and whether it ended up being fine / they were approached about it afterward?
