Splunk Alert Create alert based on count over past time frame

Hi Splunk Community 

I need some assistance with a Splunk alert, the search result provides exactly what I require but the alert can be improved.

The search query: 
source="/var/log/wireless.log" AnyConnect OR NetworkDeviceName=fw* "NOTICE Passed-Authentication: Authentication succeeded" earliest=-30d@d latest=now
| iplocation Calling_Station_ID
| where NOT Country="South Africa"
| stats count by Country, User_Name
| eventstats sum(count) as Country_Count by Country
| eventstats sum(count) as Username_Count by User_Name
| where NOT (Username_Count >= 10 AND Country_Count >= 10)

The search returns users and country,  only if the username count is less 10 and the country count is less than 10 in past 30 days, which is exactly what I want. The problem comes in wit h the alert, if I schedule the alert (lets say 10min) the query gets run, it creates alerts for each return value. I only want new events to be returned and not values which =was alerted on 10min ago. 

Is there any way one can achieve this ? 

Thank you so much

Throttle the alert on the User_Name and Country fields.
