When you call this API, the time to live (TTL) of data entries stops
resetting and data is evicted from the cache when the entry expires. During this
time, new data entries cannot be written to the cache, but existing data entries
can still be read from the cache. After being disabled for a 1-hour grace
period, the cache is deleted.
