+    ///
+    /// Checks for instances where a `std::time::Duration` is constructed using a smaller time unit
+    /// when the value could be expressed more clearly using a larger unit.
+    ///
+    /// ### Why is this bad?
+    ///
+    /// Using a smaller unit for a duration that is evenly divisible by a larger unit reduces
+    /// readability. Readers have to mentally convert values, which can be error-prone and makes
+    /// the code less clear.
+    ///
+    /// ### Example
+    /// ```
+    /// use std::time::Duration;
+    ///
+    /// let dur = Duration::from_millis(5_000);
+    /// let dur = Duration::from_secs(180);
+    /// let dur = Duration::from_mins(10 * 60);
+    /// ```
+    ///
+    /// Use instead:
+    /// ```
+    /// use std::time::Duration;
+    ///
+    /// let dur = Duration::from_secs(5);
+    /// let dur = Duration::from_mins(3);
+    /// let dur = Duration::from_hours(10);
