+The testing period runs for a number of packets or round trip times as
+determined by the endpoint.  During this time, packets sent are marked with
+ECT(0).  The goal is to limit the duration of the testing period, but to ensure
+that enough marked packets are sent that it is likely that ECN counts will
+provide a clear indication of how the path treats marked packets.
+
+<!-- Do we need a more concrete recommendation here?  For instance, I might say
+"Endpoints could test with packets that amount to between 1 to 2 times the
+initial congestion window over a period between 1 to 2 times the estimated RTT."
+-->
+
+After the testing period ends, the ECN state for the path becomes "unknown".
+From the "unknown" state, successful validation of the ECN counts an ACK frame
+(see {{ecn-ack}}) causes the ECN state for the path to become "capable", unless
+no marked packet has been acknowledged.

My thinking was that if you get an PTO in testing to go straight to failed and don't sent any ECT markings anymore.
