+This is how many seconds to wait between updating/writing the session metadata. This
+can be useful if, for some reason, you want to limit the frequency at which the
+session persists.
 
-    You can see an example of the usage of this in
-    :doc:`/session/limit_metadata_writes`.
+Starting in Symfony 3.4, session data is *only* written when the session data has
+changed. Previously, you needed to set this option to avoid that behavior.
