BGP Peering Flapping due to Holdtime Expired

Question

Hello,

We are peering with MS via IX-Denver and we have noticed that our peers will bounce occasionally due to holdtime expired. We've tried adjusting keepalives to 60 seconds and holdtime to 180 seconds to try and smooth out this behavior, but we are still seeing an active keepalive and holdtime set at 30/90 respectively on the peers. We'd like to figure out what is causing this and see if we can adjust those keepalives/holdtime with Microsoft. We are in a directly connected subnet provided via IX-Denver. https://www.peeringdb.com/ix/1207

Thanks,
