Description

So I was playing around with alertmanager and tried to set repeat_interval : 1m for an webhook endpoint. With this configuration alerts repeated in 5m duration. When I changed the repeat_interval to 7m, alerts repeated in 10m duration.
So is it by design that minimum repeat interval is 5m and anything above would be factor of 5m? Or am I missing something?
Can I override this behavior?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the reported webhook behavior with repeat_interval values of 1m and 7m, then determine whether the 5-minute rounding is intended and whether the configuration can override it; done means the behavior or a correction is clearly established.
