Color Bar Based on Alert Conditions only goes back so far, then stops as interval reduced

I'm finding strange limitations to a simple "Color Bar Based on Alert Conditions" alert as far as how far back in time the alert will print. The formula is a simple "=C>O" and "=C<O", then color bar a certain color. It works fine, but stops functioning (coloring the bar) abruptly after going a few days back. Only a portion of "Number of Days to Download" seem to be printing color alert bars. It also seems to vary, based upon Bar Period Type and/or Interval Settings. No problem for Days, 240min, 120, 60, 30min. Starts to break down on 15 min. interval on a 50 day load up. Less and less alerts as time varied down to 1 minute. Is this normal?
