What it does
How long a stored Shodan result is reused before the address is looked up again.
When set
Shorter means fresher data but more live Shodan calls and longer runs; longer saves calls but results can be out of date.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 7 days.
Risk and how to reverse it
Changes what is collected from the next run: narrowing it means some assets or data are not collected, so they look absent in profiles, CIs and reports (absence is never read as fixed). Reversible: change it back; the next run collects again.
Requires
Read by: publicip.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: When you need fresher exposure data or must save Shodan quota.
