For example: /effect give @a minecraft:instant_damage 40 (would give the effect for 2 seconds) compared to /effect give @a minecraft:hunger 40 (would give the effect for 40 seconds). However, both would prompt <seconds> while typing in a time value.
Affects:
instant_damage
instant_health
saturation

That report references the same /effect argument being labeled as seconds while Instant Health, Instant Damage, and Saturation interpret it as ticks.
