Polina,

The times above and below threshold are accumulated in one value, not two.
A time spent entirely above the threshold is added to that value. 
A time spent entirely below the threshold is subtracted from that value.
The accumulated value is clamped at zero. It must not be negative.

There is no extra averaging, just adding and subtracting.
There is no reset. At reduced traffic offer the accumulation approaches zero
anyway.
Empty queue is not a special case.


Best Regards,

Wolfram
