Setting config cache_lifetime_in_minutes to zero still caches response.

[zero-to-prod]

I have a use case that depends on the latest data from Google Analytics.

I am still observing caching despite setting cache_lifetime_in_minutes in app/config/analytics.php to zero.

I am using the AnalyticsClient::performQuery() and noticed there is no check for a value of zero.
The caching mechanism still runs on a value of '0'.

Please advise.
