When computing the state 'in scheduled downtime' for an aggregate first all leaf nodes that are within downtime are assumed CRIT and all others OK. Then each aggregated node is assumed to be in downtime if the state is CRIT under this assumption. You can change this to WARN now by checking the new option {{Escalate downtimes based on aggregated WARN state}} in the properties of an aggregation now. The influence of this setting is especially relevant if you use aggregation functions of type count and want the downtime information also escalated in case such a node would go into WARN state.
