Longest Life Limit?

[Kafka]

This was asked over three years ago, it seems that the longest possible life is still 8mins 31 seconds (8:31)

Not asking for this to be fixed (unless it'd be really easy)... just wondering why the limit is that specific time. For the admins or anyone familiar with the coding, I'm curious

8.32 is 512 seconds, which is 2^9, the highest number which can be stored in 9 bits.

I have no idea if it's relevent, but it seems like it could be

probably true.


i would have to look at the code to be 100% sure but this is most likely the cause.
