Odd Google Analytics sessionDuration Numbers

Setting up a dynamic integration of the Visualization API and Analytics. Most of it works fine but for some reason the sessionDuration value seems ridiculously high. For example, taken from Query Explorer and concurs with my API query results, using date range 30 days ago to present,
Mar 4, 2019 293,427
Mar 5, 2019 240,622
Mar 6, 2019 127,326
The first is 81.5+ hours, or 3.39 days. (Part of this interface converts the seconds values to readable time format.) While one should be happy with a long duration, the stats show the average time spent on pages at around 50 seconds, so something is up. Is it possibly adding all the durations of all visitors?
The params for this query (in both API query and Query Explorer) are 30 days ago to today, dimension ga:date, metrics ga:sessionDuration and a custom dimension2 filter to restrict the results set to a custom segment.

The reason why it is high is because you're pulling session duration metric you should do avg session duration instead: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets#view=detail&group=session&jump=ga_avgsessionduration
