You want to go the other direction; the default is 7 or more violations
in a window of 9 observations produces a failure. If you changed this to
something like 2 or more violations in a window of 6 observations, this
means that failures will occur more frequently (lower bar defines a
failure). If there is something in the documentation which suggests the
opposite, please let me know and I'll correct it.

The problem is that the data for the algorithm to 're-learn' is not
guaranteed to be available. In your case, you are preserving 2 weeks of
fine-resolution historical data. But often the fine-resolution data
(5-min averages) is discarded after a day or so in favor of consolidated
data, which can't be used.
