It's stored as an unsigned integer, so in theory it's max is
|4294967295.  Certainly much larger than 604800.  For grins, I used that
value on a machine running MySQL and it inserts leases just fine.

Using the unsigned int max value, though  blows up time calculations
which manifests itself as this error:

2017-10-06 13:29:57.202 ERROR [kea-dhcp4.alloc-engine/1888]
ALLOC_ENGINE_V4_ALLOC_ERROR [hwtype=1 08:00:27:99:72:be], cid=[no info],
tid=0x489a9: error during attempt to allocate an IPv4 address: Could not
create bind array from Lease4: 178.16.1.100, reason: Time value is too
large: 5802278292

Clearly different from your whose reason is (error code 0).
