Description
In normal operation the defaults are interval=30s, send_deadline=5s, recv_deadline=20s. This gives a good granularity on the graphs.
During high-stress scenarios, such as near-outage, it may be useful that the monitor can switch to a different mode of much higher interval and longer deadlines, so we get at least some visibility if the server is making progress just very slowly; trading off longer deadlines before giving up, with reduced granularity of time.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the monitor's interval and deadline configuration, then trace how runtime modes are selected. Done means the monitor can select an emergency mode with the proposed longer interval and deadlines while preserving normal-operation defaults and useful exported visibility.
