Terminal Command for Lock Screen Settings?

I want to change the settings in Lock Screen to a customised time instead of the time listed in the drop off menu. I remember I could change them in pre ventura versions of the os (probably in the battery settings?), like a 7min. I know with mac os, there are a lot of setting that can only be adjusted by terminal commands, I presume lock screen settings can be adjusted by this method. I have severe OCD with number obsessions, and I have been tormented by this problem for a long time now :( please help if you know how to fix this, thank you!

I know of no Terminal command to set Lock Screen time in the new macOS Ventura— beyond what is offered in the drop down(s).
