Is there a way to add expiration for questions tags?
Comments from [this question](https://software.codidact.com/questions/278780) reveal that there is some aggressive caching related to question tags (what tags are used for a question). 

Unfortunately, after changing tags for several questions I have realized that glitches are quite often. Example for [formula] tag:

- [search](https://software.codidact.com/categories/38/tags?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=formula) indicates 6 usages of the tag
- [posts tagged with formula](https://software.codidact.com/categories/38/tags/3771) indicate a list of 3 usages
- trying to edit any of the questions from the previous point indicate that [formula] is no longer used for the post

Not sure about the effort, but one quick way to deal with this would be adding an expiration for the cache. Is this possible?
