 ## Success/Failures before passing/critical
 
-A check may be set to become passing/critical only if a specified number of consecutive
-checks return passing/critical. Status will stay identical as before until
-the threshold is reached.
-This feature is available for HTTP, TCP, gRPC, Docker & Monitor checks.
-By default, both passing and critical thresholds will be set to 0 so the check status will always reflect the last check result.
+In Consul 1.7.0 and later, a check may be configured to become passing/critical
+only after a specified number of consecutive checks return passing/critical.
+The status will not transition states until the configured threshold is reached.
