There is ONLY one applicable effect at a time, not two. But applying two triggers, you are applying a portion of two effects, regardless of whether you are not applying the rest of the second effect.It is an assumption on your part that both spells are in effect. Their durations are still working, but both effects are not. Only the more potent effect applies.Btw, I actually tried to figure out a way to end up on the opposite side of this fence due to balance issues (like not having two Death Wards protecting simultaneously). And I see how making a ruling is perfectly reasonable like a ruling that triggers are not effects, only the final result is the effect. But, I tend to view it as only one same spell is up at a time (shy of the duration thing).5E doesn't split out some portion of the text under the spell as effect and some other portion under the spell as not effect, but something else (like a trigger). Best I can tell, all of the text in the spell is the effect.Edit: By making both Death Wards triggers fire off, two effects are occurring. The first Death Ward is expiring. The second Death Ward is expiring. Not just the expiration of the "more potent" spell.</blockquote>
