Comment (by smashballoon):

 Replying to [comment:7 ReneHermi]:
 > I experience the same issue in WP 4.7.3 set_transient() does not seem to
 be working reliable in any case. I was not able to track that down, yet
 but there are confirmed users where set_transient() is not adding the
 expiration date. The result is a transient which never expires. E.g.
 `set_transient('mashsb_limit_req', '1', 25);`

 Unfortunately not, we're still experiencing the same issue with some
 users. To get around it we had to use the wp_cron function to delete the
 transients at specific intervals. It's not ideal, but it works well
 enough.
