Comment (by oglekler):

 I stumbled upon the same problem. I am getting some data from a third-
 party API that is needed for all front-end pages. I need this data to be
 valid, but I need to preserve it until the site does not get new data to
 avoid issues. So, I added a transient without expiration time and wanted
 to add another transient with expiration, but it turned out that it would
 not be autoloaded and would require an additional request to the DB.
 Finally, I decided to add a timestamp to the data I am receiving and save
 it in the same transient, but it would have been simpler just to check the
 second transient for existence.
