From: M Hickford <mirth.hickford@xxxxxxxxx> Previously, the example *decreased* the cache timeout compared to the default, making it less user friendly. Instead, nudge users to make cache more usable. Many users choose store over cache. https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAGJzqskRYN49SeS8kSEN5-vbB_Jt1QvAV9QhS6zNuKh0u8wxPQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ The default timeout remains 15 minutes. A stronger nudge would be to increase that.
