It's not clear because it's subjective. What do _you_ consider an
unacceptable time interval to not receive check results in your
environment, presuming that everything is working optimally?

It uses the normal_check_interval or the retry_check_interval depending
on the state of the host.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/freshness.html

"If you do not specify a value for the freshness_threshold option (or
you set it to zero), Nagios will automatically calculate a "freshness"
threshold to use by looking at either the normal_check_interval or
retry_check_interval options (depending on what type of state the
service is currently in)."
