Alert Fatigue
Alert fatigue is reduced attention to notifications caused by too many of them, most of which turn out not to matter.
Example
A team member who gets a dozen "low balance" notifications a week, most of which resolve themselves, starts ignoring the notification entirely, including the one time it's genuinely urgent.
Why it matters
Recognizing the pattern points at the real fix: tightening the trigger for an alert, not asking people to pay closer attention to a flood of noise.
Limits and cautions
Removing an alert entirely to reduce noise can mean missing the rare case it was actually meant to catch.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah's notification settings can be scoped to genuinely actionable triggers, reducing the noise-to-signal ratio a team has to filter manually.
