The server is configured with two times, max-lease-time and
default-lease-time. It will send those times to the client, in this case
it looks like the server is configured to send very long times (4.8
years). It is up to the client when it wants to renew the lease, the
3600s is clearly within the bounds of what it is given.

If you want shorter lease times, the server needs to be configured to
hand out those times instead.
