In Marketwatch, is there away to not be alerted again for X number of days/ hours

I have a scan that I use that works the first time it occurs, but I don't want to get a notification about it again until a reset period, like a day or two or a week .. whaterver

No.
The ToS platform does not provide the ability to modify the widgets.

You could probably code it directly into the scan itself. This is just a random scan I wrote for a question in another thread. In this version, the scan will only trigger if there have been at least seven days between now at the last time it would have triggered. Up Arrows are the raw underlying condition that would typically trigger the scan, Down Arrows are when the scan actually gets triggered relative to the rest period. The numbers above the candles shows the number of days. This is designed for a chart just to help visualize what is occurring.

Input IgnoreFor = 7;

plot ScanCondition = High - Max(Open,Close) > BodyHeight() and High - Max(Open,Close) > Min(Open,Close) - Low;
ScanCondition.setpaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);

def Days = if ScanCondition and Days[1] >= IgnoreFor then 0 else if GetDay() != GetDay()[1] then Days[1] + 1 else Days[1];
plot Count = Days;
Count.setPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.VALUES_ABOVE);

plot Scan = ScanCondition and Days[1] >= IgnoreFor;
Scan.setpaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);

Although, one thing you would have to contend with is that dynamic watch lists, as well as alerts based on their results changing, sometimes do weird things around midnight, or when TOS is doing maintenance.
