Summary

  • Remove misleading config.severity: error from the custom thresholds example (it overrides the built-in dual severity)
  • Add "How severity levels work" section explaining that the test already uses warn_if/error_if internally
  • Add <Warning> callout about not setting config.severity on this test

The test macro configures warn_if='>=1', error_if='>=2' internally, so dbt automatically warns at warn_threshold_percent and errors at error_threshold_percent. Setting config.severity: error overrides this and turns all warnings into errors.

Test plan

  • Verify page renders correctly with the new Warning callout

🤖 Generated with Claude Code
