The error message "thresholds have been breached" sounded harshly to my ear. Normally I associate "breaches" with illegal acts, data exfiltrations, and military sieges.
I proposed changing the verb to "cross," which is the verb used by the docs. True, I believe I wrote those docs, so I'm biased. But I also checked the Corpus of Contemporary American English, and "cross" is by far the most common collocation (word that co-occurs) with "threshold".
