Nest doorbell announcements on smart speakers or displays in between guests

[richardblong93]

I've have issues where I may have had multiple guests in a row ring the doorbell, but they don't all get an announcement on my smart devices. Is there a wait time in between rings to allow the nest doorbell to conclude that there is two separate events and not twice the same person ring the doorbell at the door?

Google Nest cameras and doorbells all have a "cool-down" time period that seems to be in the range of 5 to 15 minutes, during which they won't report or send notifications about an additional event or doorbell ring during that time period. Last year, on one of the threads in this forum, a Google Nest Community Specialist posted a chart of the "cooldown" time periods for each Google Nest camera and doorbell, but the post was later deleted.
