Gas pocket choke time

During mining. The timing for when a gas pocket starts to choke seems to be 8 - 10 seconds. Given that you can be choked for upwards of 50 energy damage in that tick. I can see someone who has low energy falling unconscious through a series of events that has no player agency involved.

i have max mining and I still sometimes get 10 second mining ticks.

Could the choke timer be increased to 15 seconds?

Thanks.

Actually whilst writing this, i was both choked and flamed before I could move. See Below.

Yeah, unless we're trying to recreate mining death rates of pre 1980s britain. This needs some reconfiguration.
Thanks
