+  description: Maximum age of measurements. Setting this to a time interval will cause older values to be discarded. Please note that you might have to increase the [sampling_size](/integrations/statistics#sampling_size) parameter. If you e.g., have a sensor value updated every second you will, by default, only get a max_age of 20s.
