There is no threshold that will trigger full synchronization. If
secondary if offline even for a very long time, but primary wasn't
modified much during that time, it will take very short while to sync.
Full synchronization if only performed when clean provider is connected
or in unlikely situation when every extent becomes dirty during
secondary outage.
