Caveats

Linode does not allow all TTLs, but only a specific subset of TTLs. The following TTLs are supported (source):

• 0 (Default, currently equivalent to 1209600, or 14 days)

• 300

• 3600

• 7200

• 14400

• 28800

• 57600

• 86400

• 172800

• 345600

• 604800

• 1209600

• 2419200

The provider will automatically round up your TTL to one of these values. For example, 600 seconds would become 3600 seconds, but 300 seconds would stay 300 seconds.
