Misleading custom alert XXX "minutes during an" YYY "minute period"

Am i right thinking that it means if any 10 samples that below 10 microseconds generate alert?

Below pic.

Statement "for [10] minutes during any [20] minute period" sounds misleading or at least unclear.

Better to understand "for any [10] samples during any [20] minute period"

As the sentence says, "for [10] minutes during any [20] minute period"

Violation will be highlighted when threshold violates for atleast 10min in 20 min window. The total sum of the 10 min of violation can be anywhere between 0-20 min window.

Let me know if you still need clarification.
