​I think it's pretty clear from the documentation.​

​I think given the context API sets, even 1 second is a high value, so what
kind of transaction can even take 5 seconds, let aside more than 5 second ?
For example for my application I might even prefer to use 1 second, but
there is no way to configure it as of now. So rather than assuming that no
cohort will take more then 5 second, let user decide what value they want
to use based on their use case.
