# Test Escalation on Error

After an **error is detected**, the first retest is performed one minute later. Following this, we test the failing scenario every two minutes until the 21st minute of an error. At this mark, we begin testing every four minutes until the 57th minute of an error. Once this is reached, we test every ten minutes until the 3 hour and 7 minute mark. After this point, we run tests every fifteen minutes until the monitor has failed every test for 48 hours and 7 minutes, whereupon the monitor is disabled automatically. If at any time during this retest process a test passes, the retests are halted and your normal testing frequency is resumed. If an error is detected later, the retest process begins anew.
