AFAIK there is no way to reset failcnt in /proc/user_beancounters without restarting an appropriate VPS. This is actually a valid behaviour since there can be many different programs reading those values, and they should not expect those values to suddenly go down to zero.

So what you should do is to collect the current values and later check against them. For the 'problematic' VPSs I usually employ a cron job which periodically cats /proc/user_beancounters to a file, together with a timestamp.

A simple shell script can also be written to mail a sysadmin about "bad" changes in /proc/user_beancounters.
