Yep, that is it. Network tests have a lifetime of 30 minutes before
they go purple, so if you only run the network tests with 30 minute
intervals, there are bound to be some occasions where the network
tests fails to update the status before the go-purple triggers.

Just don't set the interval that high - problem fixed.
