There are plenty of reasons you might want these to be different.  You
may, for example, have a chack you want to run every 60 seconds.
Getting notifications that often would be annoying.

The inverse might apply for services that are checked infrequently.

I haven't tried it, but I would guess that it's either invalid, or will
cause state to never change.
