Is 5-6 uA too high for the flame indicator?

So I looked at the LED on the controller for my gas boiler (It's a Crown boiler from 2006). When running, the LED lights for 4 seconds and then flashes either 5 or 6 times. The guide for the Honeywell controller says each flash = 1uA, so 6 would equal 6uA. I've had people tell me that is way too high it should be around 3. Is this something I need to worry about or have someone come look at?
I just had the boiler serviced this morning and the tech said it was working fine, but the knowledge level of these guys they send out for annual cleaning tends to vary.
Thanks much in advance.

I can't offhand think of a failure that would result in higher µAmps on a flame rod. Did the people who told you it was too high tell you how to lower it?0

I have seen up to eight flashes. If it works don't fix it.0

I'll go with @unclejohn on this one.
I have in all my years never seen a flame signal that is too high. If it's running I wouldn't worry. Especially with micro amps i'ts usually difficult to get a high enough signal. Lo signals cause problems1
