How does 'repeat' default of 1 for a schedule work regarding the reboot module?

[jmp242]

So I am seeing the reboot loop per the docs on Windows due to pending file renames. I thought I would work around this by relying on the schedule default:

repeat

How often a given resource may be applied in this schedule’s period. Defaults to 1; must be an integer.

However, it looks like puppet only keeps the repeat status till there is a reboot and then it is lost. Is this true, or would explicitly setting a repeat setting limit the reboots through a schedule period?
