`max` is a `timedelta` and as such inherits (e.g.) `resolution`
from the class (as any other `timedelta` instance).

Note that `timedelta` instances do not have a `max` (`min|resolution`)
slot. When `max` is looked up, it is first searched in the instance
(and not found), then in the class where it is found:
all `max` accesses result in the same object.
