Actually, I believe that lowering this value to a reasonable range is the most fundamental solution. By reducing the maximum value of this parameter, an error message will appear if it is set incorrectly, which can prevent disasters caused by incorrect settings. Moreover, lowering this value to 3600 seconds is still an unreasonably high value—but it’s at least much better than setting it to 23 hours.Personally, I think anything over 10 minutes is unacceptable.
