I think you could craft something with `absent` and `offset` so that
the alert only fires if the corresponding time series wasn't there a
certain amount af time ago.
However, this all smells quite event-driven: Pushing something like an
event to the Pushgateway, then creating a one-shot alert based on that
"event"... Perhaps you are shoehorning Prometheus into something it's
not good at? A Prometheus alert is usually something that keeps firing
for as long as the alerting condition persists. Are files larger than
100GiB suddenly fine once they have been around for a while? (And how
long is that "a while"?)
