Is RCA turned on by default?
No. RCA ships off, and you turn it on for the org. The reason is different from why most other classifiers start off. duration_drift, cost_drift, and tool_error ship on because they cost nothing to run: checking every trace with a deterministic watcher is free either way. RCA is not free. Each run is an isolated agentic session that reads your repo and reasons over a failing cohort, and that is a platform-paid LLM call with no cap on how much it can spend investigating one case.
So turning on a classifier costs nothing to look at. Turning on RCA means agreeing to pay for investigations as they happen, which is a decision worth making on purpose rather than inheriting from a default. Once it is on, any case that clears triage can trigger a root cause run instead of leaving you to write the investigation yourself.
