What it does
The minimum time between two fresh Shodan scans when fresh scans are on.
When set
Lower values submit new scans more often, spending more scan credits; higher values reuse the last scan longer. Only matters when SI_Shodan_ForceFreshScan is on.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 20 hours.
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 your schedule or Shodan credit budget calls for more or fewer scans.
