For our production clusters, we specify a lower time limit so as to avoid the impacted Pods serving traffic abidingly. The *kube-exec-controller* internally sets and tracks a timer for each Pod that matches the associated TTL. Once the timer is up, the controller evicts that Pod using K8s API. The eviction (rather than deletion) is to ensure service availability, since the cluster respects any configured [PodDisruptionBudget](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/disruptions/) (PDB). Let's say if a user has defined *x* number of Pods as critical in their PDB, the eviction (as requested by *kube-exec-controller*) does not continue when the target workload has fewer than *x* Pods running.
