What size?

[krolu]

Document doesn't specify what are the units. Is it in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, or maybe number of items on the cache?

I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.

@krolu please specify which doc page are you referring to, else we could not answer your question

Oh sorry, I'm using this feature for the first time and I thought it would add information about the page if i'm adding this from this page. I'm referring to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.caching.memory.memorycacheoptions.sizelimit?view=dotnet-plat-ext-8.0#microsoft-extensions-caching-memory-memorycacheoptions-sizelimit

They are intentionally unitless. Instead, they have whatever meaning the consuming cache decides to ascribe to them:

@colejohnson66 now I understand, but don't you think that if you have to point to stackoverflow explanation instead of actual documentation than this means that the documentation is bad? The person that wrote explanation that you are referring to also commented below the initial question that "documentation is shockingly terrible on Size".

Thank you @colejohnson66 for answering the question

@krolu agree, feel free to offer a fix
