Isn't that negligible when compared to the sync/announce traffic?
For the default sync/announce rate of 1.5 per second, does it matter
that there is a request every hour instead of every day, or month?

The main reason I thought the duration should be limited is clients
that are powered off without canceling their grants, potentially
preventing other clients getting their grants if the total rate is
limited, or even themselves if they change IP address frequently.
