What is the formula used to determine the wait time spoken to callers when the “play hold time” box is checked in the queue events?

Hello, currently this is calculated by the longest queued call’s duration. 

 

For example, if a caller is in queue for 5 minutes, and a new secondary caller enters the queue, the new caller would hear a wait time of 5 minutes.
