RSS feeds have a TTL inside the feed. Do feed readers respect it? https://www.rssboard.org/rss-draft-1#element-channel-ttl https://www.rssboard.org/rss-draft-1

  I was just thinking a header with a suggested poll rate might be nice

    The GitHub Event API uses a `X-Poll-Interval` header for this purpose. There is also Retry-After but that seems more targeted towards error states. EDIT: There is the `Cache-Control` header, it seems ideal for this use-case - https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/rest/activity/events?apiVersion=2022-11-28 https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/rest/acti... - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Retry-After https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Re... - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cache-Control https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Ca...

  I would ask "Has a feed ever tried to abuse that to get readers to go away" the answer is yes, at which point the reader would ignore it.
