The standard range if -60 / +15 minutes. I would check very carefully
that the time on your node is really correct before fiddling but:-

  set/var $DXProt::pc11_max_age = 3600

is the command to set it to the no of seconds old you are prepared to
tolerate a spot living. There is no mechanism for altering the amount of
time in the future that is allowed, currently that is set in stone as 15
mins.

You put the above (suitably altered) command in your
/spider/scripts/startup file.

You can also issue it on the console.
