Status Updates for Closed Alerts Lack Max-Age #3245

Description

@mastercactapus

Describe the Bug:
Status updates for closed alerts don't seem to have a max-age, causing confusion for users who receive updates for alerts with old original notifications. This appears particularly prevalent with alerts left open for extended periods.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open an alert.
  2. Leave the alert open for a long period (e.g., a year).
  3. Close the alert.
  4. See the status update pertaining to the closed alert.

Expected Behavior:
A user would typically expect not to receive status updates for alerts that were activated a long time ago and have since been closed.

Observed Behavior:
Users are receiving status updates for closed alerts irrespective of when the original notification was issued.

Application Version:
This report is based on user feedback and hasn't been tied to a specific GoAlert version or platform.

Additional Context:
Implementing a max-age for statuses could mitigate confusion, improving user experience significantly. Users are primarily disrupted when receiving updates about alerts triggered a long time ago.
