+When set, it defines the upper bound limit (in ms) of how long a `/ipns/{id}`
+lookup result will be cached and read from cache before checking for updates.
+
+The limit is applied to everything under the `/ipns/` namespace, and allows to cap both
+the [Time-To-Live (TTL)](https://specs.ipfs.tech/ipns/ipns-record/#ttl-uint64)
+of [IPNS Records](https://specs.ipfs.tech/ipns/ipns-record/)
