We use the `ms` library for parsing durations that has different logic from the UI, which converts durations from the server into human readable form.

`ms('10 years')` returns `315576000000`, which is just over 10 years.

Looking at the source code for that package a year is defined as 365.25 days (a Julian year which takes into account leap years).
