## Message

```
Use `Duration` to improve type safety and unit correctness (#62969)

# Objective

- Prefer using `Duration` instead of integers when dealing with spans of
time. This prevents confusing different units of time and comparing
arbitrary integers with durations.
- Remove `_ms`/`_secs` suffixes from variables which are `Duration`,
since their unit is inside of the type.
- Initialize large integer constants using `Duration`, which has more
descriptive constructors, while maintaining the resulting integer type.

Release Notes:

- N/A or Added/Fixed/Improved ...
```
