Duration converter.
Enter a number with a unit, or a compound string like 1h30m, and see the duration in every unit plus a human-readable form. For the timeouts, TTLs, cron intervals, and cache settings that are always in the wrong unit.
Every setting in a different unit
Durations are scattered across units throughout a backend: milliseconds for HTTP timeouts, seconds for token expiry and cache TTLs, minutes for cron, days for retention. The mental arithmetic to line them up — is 86400 a day? is 1.5 hours 5400 seconds? — is small but exactly where off-by-a-factor bugs hide, like a session that expires in 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes. Convert once, read it in the unit the config wants.
