WAF advanced rate limit periods (65535 seconds)
I noticed with the WAF advanced rate limiting feature the period of rate limit had 2 new entries (1 day, and oddly 65535 seconds) around mid August.
I was used to a max 1 hour period with a 1 day max duration - so it's very much welcome!
But, I checked today and now only see 65535 seconds (not the 1 day which errored when trying to test it).
What is supported? Is it safe/reliable to use? Thanks

According to the documentation, the supported period values in seconds are: 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 45, 60 (1 min), 90, 120 (2 min), 180 (3 min), 240 (4 min), 300 (5 min), 480, 600 (10 min), 900, 1200 (20 min), 1800, 2400, 3600 (1 h), 65535, 86400 (1 day). [1]
However, it seems that the 1 day option (86400 seconds) is not currently available, and only 65535 seconds is visible.
I would recommend checking the Cloudflare documentation or contacting Cloudflare support for the most up-to-date information on supported rate limiting periods and their reliability.

Just oddly named in the UI I guess (i.e. 65535 seconds and not 18 hours). Would be if 24 hours was an option too 😉
