How to get remaining timeout in Django cache

I'm throttling the post requests on a view that lets users add articles. I'm currently using a decorator like so:

def throttle_post(func, duration=60):
    def inner(request, *args, **kwargs):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            remote_addr = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR') or \
                          request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
            key = '%s.%s' % (remote_addr, request.get_full_path())
            if cache.get(key):
                messages.add_message(
                request, messages.ERROR, 'you cant add articles so fast, try waiting another {} seconds.format(remaining))
                return redirect(request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER'))
            else:
                cache.set(key, 1, duration)
        return func(request, *args, **kwargs)
return inner

I want to display in the message how many seconds are remaining for the timeout.

thanks

no it is not possible to do, if you want it you have to cache the value to another memory like redis or etc
