Notification Center provides notification suppression to reduce excessive notifications. If a particular alarm generates 150 messages in 5 minutes, the alarm is suppressed until the frequency of the alarm drops below this threshold.
When the number of messages falls below the 150-message threshold, alarm suppression will end and notifications will resume as usual.

| # of events | < 150 | ≥150 | ≥150 | < 150 | <150 |
| Suppression | No | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Notification | Alarm notification | Suppression on | None | Suppression off | Alarm notifications |
Notifications about suppression
Users are notified of the start of notification suppression as well as the end of notification suppression.
The user receives the notification about suppression via email, SMS, iOS push and/or Android push (as set in the user notification preferences). The information also appears in the alarm case details within the Notification Center application.
