Maximum fetch delay after a policy invalidation
Supported on Microsoft Windows 7 or later
What it does
Setting the policy specifies the maximum delay in milliseconds between receiving a policy invalidation and fetching the new policy from the device management service. Valid values range from 1,000 (1 second) to 300,000 (5 minutes). Values outside this range will be clamped to the respective boundary. Leaving the policy unset means Brave uses the default value of 10 seconds.

- The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
- Option values are the template defaults, or sample values chosen from each option's type where the template has none; set your own values before deploying.
