I think you copied the due-date from the clonee ticket hence removing it here and resetting start date as well. By the way, what do you want to say with the subject "Provide … alerting"?

Alerting now:

ratio_mm_failed 5.080

I think it's safe to say we've reached alert fatigue. And we're not even clear what caused or resolved the previous occurences. Hence raising prio.

https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/merge_requests/622 has been merged (to not remove the alert completely and just use a very high threshold). This is a bit different than AC1 but it seems to be the best we can currently do.

I've also just merged the SR from @okurz. This should cover AC2.
