Max supported time in EventQueue

I could not find any documentation of what the maximum supported time you can when queuing events using i.e. EventQueue::call_in

Is it max 32-bit value in milliseconds 50 days or is it max 32-bit value in microseconds 72 minutes?

Hi Simon,

The first parameter passed to EventQueue::call_in() is in msec. However, it's an int (not unsigned int) so we think the max call_in time you will observe is ~ 25 days. You can find more information about events here:
