Subject: Docs/mm/damon/design: clarify when qt_exceeds increases
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 07:19:50 -0700

qt_exceeds counts how many times a scheme's quota has been exceeded.

When using the temporal auto-tuning algorithm, the effective size quota becomes zero once the goal is [over-]achieved. In this case, the quotas are still set, so qt_exceeds keeps increasing once per quota reset interval while the goal stays achieved.

Clarify this behavior in the design document.
