Default cacheTime not overwritten by useQuery cacheTime when using persistClient about query HOT 1 CLOSED

That is somewhat expected. The options of a query are not persisted - only the data. When data is restored (hydrated), they will get the default options. This can be changed by providing hydrateOptions. But I don't really understand the use-case. for having different cacheTimes for different Queries if they are all persisted, because what you have in memory will be reflected in the storage - it's a 1:1 copy of the in-memory cache. So if you remove it early from the cache, it will also be evicted from the storage. That's why the recommendation is to keep cacheTime at least as high as maxAge.

If you want something more fine grained, please have a look at the createPersister plugin in v5:

It doesn't have this problem because it only loads queries from the storage at the point in time when they are used (and not loaded upfront), so the options are respected correctly.
