Delay node - Error

General
1

I have set a delay node to 100 days.
I noted the following error in the logs:

Nov 02 16:43:02 remoteir Node-RED[593]: (node:593) TimeoutOverflowWarning: 8640000000 does not fit into a 32-bit signed integer.
Nov 02 16:43:02 remoteir Node-RED[593]: Timeout duration was set to 1.

The value 8640000000 in milliseconds is equivalent to 100 days, which is what I did set.
However, if I am not mistaken, it exceeds the maximum safe timeout duration of approximately 24.8 days for 32-bit signed integers.
If so, the maximum delay to avoid errors should be 28,4 days.

Am I wrong?

I think that sounds right.

For such a long delay, I would suggest scheduling it with some thing like the cron+ node, as it's likely that you would lose the delay timer due to restarts etc over that time.
