I recently published a high terrain cache that was found a couple times right off the bat, but the next 2 cachers either didn’t attempt, or were looking in the wrong place, both logged as DNF. Two days later Out of an abundance of caution and concern my cache could have been muggled I decided to make the hike. I hiked up to the location and made the leap over the deep chasm to the cace site and located the cache in fine condition. I immediately logged a Performed Maintenance log while I was on the mountain and hiked down in the rain and dark. Three days later, today, I noticed that the cache was flagged for a Low Health score despite my recent maintenance. So I logged into my dogs sock puppet account and logged a find… he was there afterall. within a few hours the health score improved and the cache has continued living.

Does anyone have any insight as to why the health score is more affected by finds/DNF rather than cache owner attention? Seems a bit off to me.
