Nodes Stats Breaker Tripped Meaning

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

In the Nodes Stats API, what does "tripped": ### mean? I am running version 7.17.

I understand that tripping a circuit breaker means that some activity has caused JVM heap consumption in excess of limit_size.

What I would like to know is what does the numeric value of tripped mean? It appears to be a monotonically increasing value. Is it ever reset to 0?

Example

GET /_nodes/stats/breaker/

                "parent": {
                    "limit_size_in_bytes": 30601641984,
                    "limit_size": "28.5gb",
                    "estimated_size_in_bytes": 29839003560,
                    "estimated_size": "27.7gb",
                    "overhead": 1.0,
                    "tripped": 5537236
                }
