WTDHCP lease duration

I can't find the parameter specifying the lease duration on the WTDHCP service.
Currently my DHCP leases are never released as if there is no duration, which is very annoying.
As a result, the IPs are never freed and there comes a time when there are no more free IP addresses

I think, change IP after long vacation is more annoying, if redirected printer was bound to this IP.
WTDHCP should take used IP with the longest inactivity time it it found no free IP. What is the problem?

I always have to free unused IP manually.
I can see OPTION_DHCP_LEASE_TIME with value -1 in log.
Can I modify it (what config file) and is the value in ms ?

Why?
If new device can not obtain IP, please show me DHCP service log. After problem and before you delete IP manually. Wtcenter > Button with wrench in top left corner - Open DHCP Service screen - reboot client and reproduce problem with no IP - Save log.

DHCP tells client: "don't wory about lease time, it's your IP forever". Client is happy.

Not implemented now. Please show me the problem log so I can fix it.
