Where did you see that? It probably needs some changes.
C-h v appt-display-interval RET says

Just setting appt-display-interval and appt-message-warning-time equal
to (say) 12, should work fine, afaict - but I have not tried it.

PS A propos of nothing, one strangeness that I have observed is that at
least the *final* notification (and maybe all of them) is one minute
late, but I haven't chased it down yet.
