Not with Postfix. Messages don't disappear after a positive response to
".". It is not possible to send a second message over a connection,
without completing the first. So the only way to "lose" messages is if
they are not accepted in the first place (no "250 Ok" after "."). And
only in this case are the error counters cumulative, otherwise error
counters are always reset when a message is accepted.

Your observations are flawed.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
