High heart rate notification

How long does heart rate need to be above the set high heart rate before a notification appears on my Apple Watch? My rate has momentarily gone over the set high heart rate 2 times and there was no notification on my Apple Watch.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 7

It was during inactivity of greater than 10 minutes...I was still in bed. The photo shows a 153 heart rate sometime around 8:00 a.m. I really don't know how to interpret the graph lines. The 153 appears as a "blip" and I suspect that indicates a very short duration but I am not certain. I felt nothing. I also wonder whether the reading of 153 is accurate. My watch is set to send a notification when my resting heart rate is over 100. If the 153 heart rate only lasted a minute, would a notification be triggered? Does the heart rate have to be above the maximum setting for some minimum period of time before a notification is triggered? Any knowledge you can share will be appreciated. Thanks.
