On the contrary, my apologies. You are correct. The original incarnation of MCAS did trim again after 5 seconds if the triggering conditions continued to apply. Thank youfor the correction.

Details of MCAS here: 737 MAX - MCAS

Interesting to note FAA AD 2020-24-02 issued 2020-11-18 changed the Runaway Stabilizer wording (page 105) to "If uncommanded stabilizer movement occurs continuously or in a manner not appropriate for flight conditions:" (My italics). The document's discussion of MCAS is worth reading.
