More seriously, and some random weekly internals on reddit made me realize
my point was not maybe not clear.
I had already replied on Reddit before I had seen your email here. Let
me link the thread for further reference:

From what I understand there was a misunderstanding about the behavior
of the `Duration::fromSeconds()` constructor in that it would also limit
the `$seconds` value (to `59` I assume). This is false, all of the
following would be perfectly legal:
Duration::fromSeconds(120); // Two minutes
Duration::fromSeconds(86_400); // One 24-hour-day
Duration::fromSeconds(31_556_925,
43_200_000); // One solar year according
// to WolframAlpha.
Only the (optional) `$nanoseconds` parameter is limited in that it must
be smaller than “1 second” to achieve the “fixed point decimal”
semantics. The `fromNanoseconds()` constructor that only takes
nanoseconds will allow overflow into larger units as will all the other
constructors. The injectivity is on a per-constructor basis.
You can also check the proof-of-concept implementation, while it is
non-authoritative, it correctly implements the proposed overflow and
range-checking semantics.
