message-expiry-duration vs cache-duration config options (lemm.ee)

What is the difference between the two.

The cache-duration is explained in the docs and is fairly clear:

Duration for which messages will be buffered before they are deleted

so it is to account for network interruptions of subscribers.

message-expiry-duration is mentioned but there is no explanation for it in the docs.

Not quite clear.

Given I have no tiers, I am covered just with cache-duration and can completely ignore message-expiry-duration?

I have a single service that POSTs messages to ntfy which sends them to subscribers. Any subscriber will have to connect within cache-duration or else ntfy deletes messages older than that from the database. Is that accurate? The intention is to keep the sqlite db lean and small.
