A compromise would be to use the OP notation "m".

- wafflemaker 7mo ago>This is only an issue for people who do not know months are longer than hours. I'm aware of that, and thought that "downgraded" was the wrong word to use when going from 1h to 5 months.
- cassianoleal 7mo agoI'm not sure upping a cache TTL from 1 h to 5 months is an upgrade in most contexts.

Maybe this isn't the TTL I thought it was? 3. Maybe this isn't the cache I thought? Then I clicked on the link and realized I had been mislead my the title.

- gib444 7mo agoI love the title change that totally hides the scale of the issue. Good job poster/mods.
