 All currently supported protocols have the same default timeout value
 of 300 seconds.
 
+This timeout value is used as the ticket lifetime hint for stateless session
+tickets. It is also used as the timeout value within the ticket itself.
+
+For TLSv1.3, RFC8446 limits transmission of this value to 1 week (604800
+seconds).
+
+For TLSv1.2, tickets generated during an initial handshake use the value
+as specified. Tickets generated during a resumed handshake have a value
+of 0 for the ticket lifetime hint.
+
 =head1 RETURN VALUES
 
 SSL_CTX_set_timeout() returns the previously set timeout value.
