I think this is simply a matter of finding good defaults. In my opinion, the order of magnitude should be how many days without reception, not how many hours. A week sounds like a sane baseline for me, since that is more than ample time for most people to end up in a situation where you're connected again. Likewise you could reset the counter on a successful unlock. On the flip side, a week is not enough time to reasonably bruteforce anything if the time you have to wait before each retry goes up with every failure.

- tmottabr 2y agoI dont think it is related to how long it has or not reception. Also, it would be easy for cops to create a spoofed celular network to keep those phones with reception. It look like it is based on how long since phone was last unlocked, i would say 1 week is even a big long in this case.. Just a couple of days should be more then enough.
