People that do trunk-based development would consider 2-3 weeks as quite long. My definition of short-lived is about 1 day.

In case it matters, we also push in progress code to remote at end of day. (We don’t rely on local branches for in progress work)

I’m guessing with a 1 day PR length, you’re mostly pushing finished code ready for peer review.
