For example, when your cluster experiences a peak in search rate, that might trigger a "Too many tasks on queue" event. Now, your cluster is more relaxed in terms of search rate, so this event is no longer an issue, but it was recorded for historical reasons. Events history is also sorted by severity first and then by time.
