Changing topic_excerpt_maxlength does not update existing excerpts automatically

I guess it would also work re-baking all excerpts on the server.

I think that’s a good guess.

But the setting not having an immediate effect is confusing for community managers.

Having a setting change start a rebake of a million posts might also be confusing. And it’s not that confusing since you already knew the answer.
