Timing chain stretch and replacement?

What does MB say about timing chain stretch and replacement?

M-B does not provide a spec saying that if the timing chain is stretched X degrees, then the chain needs to be replaced. What M-B discusses is the use of offset woodruff keys to correct the crankshaft and camshaft tiiming because of timing chain stretch.

So many different opinions on this Board regarding this, I wonder
what would be the maximum before replacement is really??
