Hey @Dhanush.S,

According to the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.8/actions.html#actions-ack-throttle)

> An acknowledged watch action remains in the `acked` state until the watch’s condition evaluates to `false` . When that happens, the action’s state changes to `awaits_successful_execution`.

i.e. if the condition you set for the alert is resolved, the `acked` state will be removed and you will be notified about the issue once again.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help.

Liza
