💖 OBJECT-IDLETIME — ok bestie, let's find out how long this key's been sitting there unbothered 💖

so this is a page from the Valkey Command Manual, section 3valkey, and it's all about OBJECT IDLETIME, which tells you how long it's been since anybody touched a key. literally the "how long have you been rotting in bed" check but for your data. 🛌✨

✨ NAME ✨

object-idletime — returns the time since the last access to an object. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

OBJECT IDLETIME key

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This command returns the time in seconds since the last access to the value stored at key. like, "girl how long has it been since someone checked on you" energy. ⏰

🚨 IMPORTANT BESTIE, READ THIS TWICE: the command is only available when the maxmemory-policy configuration directive is not set to one of the LFU policies. so if you're running LFU, this command is simply not it and you need OBJECT FREQ instead. no cap. 🫶
