 `@Scheduled#executionMaxDelay()` can be set to delay each execution of a scheduled method.
 The value represents the maximum delay between the activation of the trigger and the execution of the scheduled method.
-The actual delay varies randomly over time but it never exceeds the maximum value.
+The actual delay is a randomized number between 0 and the maximum specified delay.
 
 The value is parsed with `DurationConverter#parseDuration(String)`.
