bin/bucket: Where does the window start? I need this to start as the first event.

Hi,
the bin command conveniently provides time slots.
But where do they start? It seems always on the next fitting clock time like 10:00, 10:05, 10:10 for a bin of 5min.
But, if I want to identify failed logins within a 5min window, that window of course needs to start at the first failed login, not any fixed timestamp.
Any ideas how to make that work?
thx

for that use-case, try and use streamstats
there are many answers here regarding finding many failed login in certain amount of time

Thanks,
I ended up with this:

| streamstats  time_window=5m sum(eval(match(action,"failure"))) AS action_count BY user
| where action_count>4
