The minimum cacheTtl<\/code> parameter for Workers KV has been reduced from 60 seconds to 30 seconds. This change applies to both get()<\/code> and getWithMetadata()<\/code> methods.<\/p>\n

This reduction allows you to maintain more up-to-date cached data and have finer-grained control over cache behavior. Applications requiring faster data refresh rates can now configure cache durations as low as 30 seconds instead of the previous 60-second minimum.<\/p>\n

The cacheTtl<\/code> parameter defines how long a KV result is cached at the global network location it is accessed from:<\/p>\n
