Hi,

My request wasn’t to specify this in detail for every scenario, it was to set boundaries about what's safe to do. The 3 seconds I mentions are the recommendation given in RFC8085, however, if you have a good reason to use different values that possible but it would be good to provide more reasoning then about when it is still safe to use the values and when it should be avoided.

Mirja
