In the original version, the bounds given in Eqs. (87a) and (87b) on the contribution to the early-time optical depth, τ(15, 30), contained a numerical error in deriving the 95th percentile from the Monte Carlo samples. The corrected 95% upper bounds are:

τ ( 15 , 30 ) < 0.018 ( lowE , flat τ ( 15 , 30 ) , FlexKnot ) ; $$ \begin{aligned}&\tau (15,30) < 0.018 \;\; (\mathrm {lowE},\, \mathrm {flat} \, \tau (15,30), \mathrm {FlexKnot}); \end{aligned} $$(1)

τ ( 15 , 30 ) < 0.023 ( lowE , flat knot , FlexKnot ) . $$ \begin{aligned}&\tau (15,30) < 0.023 \;\; (\mathrm {lowE},\, \mathrm {flat} \, \mathrm {knot},\, \mathrm {FlexKnot}). \end{aligned} $$(2)

These bounds are a factor of ∼3 larger than the originally reported results. Consequently, the new bounds do not significantly improve upon previous results from Planck data presented in Millea & Bouchet (2018) as was stated, but are instead comparable. Equations (1) and (2) give results that are now similar to those of Heinrich & Hu (2021), who used the same Planck 2018 data to derive a 95 % upper bound of 0.020 using the principal component analysis (PCA) model and uniform priors on the PCA mode amplitudes.
