I never had this problem in 3.6 but in 3.7. An example is with the config excerpt below. If the compute crosses a threshold to warn, it sends five notifications immediately. When the threshold drops below it sends five clears as well.

renotify:              1800
renotify.major:  3600
renotify.minor:  7200
renotify.warning:             14400
