Today I installed some minor updates on a small PVE 4.4 cluster, since the updates I noticed the Software Watchdog Initial Countdown has changed from 120 seconds to 600 seconds. Isn't this value a bit high? Is it possible for us to change it back to 120 seconds?

Code:
Timer Use:                   SMS/OS
Timer:                       Stopped
Logging:                     Enabled
Timeout Action:              Hard Reset
Pre-Timeout Interrupt:       None
Pre-Timeout Interval:        0 seconds
Timer Use BIOS FRB2 Flag:    Clear
Timer Use BIOS POST Flag:    Clear
Timer Use BIOS OS Load Flag: Clear
Timer Use BIOS SMS/OS Flag:  Clear
Timer Use BIOS OEM Flag:     Clear
Initial Countdown:           600 seconds
Current Countdown:           599 seconds
