Narrative:

While working sectors: logen and commerce (49/18) combined without a d-side or radar associate; with heavy volume and high complexity due to atl and satellite arrivals deviating and mileage in trail restrictions. Aircraft X and aircraft Y crossed the A80 logen tcp above the LOA altitude restrictions without appropriate coordination. Aircraft X and aircraft Y crosses the tcp at 14;000 MSL and 14;400 MSL respectively and the LOA crossing restriction is 13;000 MSL. It was barely possible to provide the required services and weather/traffic advisories to aircraft on frequency as well as coordinate with the 4 other additional tracons regarding deviating aircraft while attempting to provide mileage intrail restrictions to the A80 logen sector. I received over five atl arrival aircraft from the high side feed sector lanier (50) less than 40 miles from the tcp while already having two additional atl arrival aircraft underneath the before mentioned high side aircraft. Approximately 75% of my airspace was blocked by heavy-extreme precipitation and I had very limited ability to vector for intrail restrictions/hold aircraft. A lack of help from both the high side feed sector lanier (50) and no d-side/radar associate to make landline coordination directly led to this airspace deviation. Provide opds for the stars for ZTL logen sector; get more controllers; staffing shortages have caused us to all work with less help than ever before; safety has been degraded due to the lack of FAA staffing.

Title: ZTL Controller reported an airspace deviation occurred due to excessive workload related to insufficient facility staffing.

Narrative: While working sectors: Logen and Commerce (49/18) combined without a D-side or Radar Associate; with heavy volume and high complexity due to ATL and satellite arrivals deviating and mileage in trail restrictions. Aircraft X and Aircraft Y crossed the A80 Logen TCP above the LOA altitude restrictions without appropriate coordination. Aircraft X and Aircraft Y crosses the TCP at 14;000 MSL and 14;400 MSL respectively and the LOA crossing restriction is 13;000 MSL. It was barely possible to provide the required services and weather/traffic advisories to aircraft on frequency as well as coordinate with the 4 other additional TRACONS regarding deviating aircraft while attempting to provide mileage intrail restrictions to the A80 Logen Sector. I received over five ATL arrival aircraft from the high side feed sector Lanier (50) less than 40 miles from the TCP while already having two additional ATL arrival aircraft underneath the before mentioned high side aircraft.

Provide OPDs for the STARS for ZTL Logen Sector; get more controllers; staffing shortages have caused us to all work with less help than ever before; safety has been degraded due to the lack of FAA staffing.
