Keras early stopping to a target

I’m really struggling to understand how the parameters of Keras early stopping callbacks play out, especially in the presence of a baseline. What I want is simply for the training to stop within 2 epochs of the validation accuracy hitting 95%. So I try:

(trainX, testX, trainY, testY) = train_test_split(Tensor, Labels1Hot, test_size=0.2)
when2stop = EarlyStopping(mode='max',monitor='val_accuracy',verbose=1,patience=2,baseline=0.95)
history = model.fit(trainX, trainY, epochs = 100, batch_size = 500, validation_data = (testX, testY), callbacks=when2stop)

This just stops after just 2 epochs, even if the val accuracy has in fact improved. But the val accuracy is way off 0.95. Is this a bug or am I mis-understanding the baseline and patience settings?
