No, it is used -- the first rule reports and removes the context when
the threshold condition is met, and the second is an accumulator.  I
have similar rule pairs in our rulesets and I don't think you have much
of a choice.  You need one rule to keep adding the data and one to
report it.  If there is way to do that all in one to avoid repeating the
pattern, love to hear how!
