I know, that notifications are not sent for event frames older than 72 hours, but that 3 days is still too long.
Usually we just want to recalculate Event Frames to have a proper statistic about the past in reports. The notification is used to alert users about current situation. It is very confusing when we are sending out 2 days old messages.
It is even more problematic, if we just recalculate EventFrames. Recalculation means, that the notifications for the same issues are sent out second times.
I understand that these backfilled notifications might be useful sometimes, but it would be very great to have an option to turn them off.
The description doesn't fit my exact case, but IT pushes regular updates and notifications that shouldn't be sent out (they have already been closed, sometimes weeks or months in the past) are sent out to users near midnight, waking them up to irrelevant events.
Disabling PI Notifications for a single element when event frames are backfilled/recalculated is manageable. However, there are instances when the service is restarted automatically by an update or patch in which this approach is not practical. Duplicate Notifications that result can confusion with users.
