⌛ Limit

⌛ Limit

The Limit value is a crucial configuration setting that determines when messages are deleted. Depending on the Mode you’ve selected, the limit is interpreted either as a time duration or as a number of messages.

All ranges here are inclusive ranges. Meaning “> 10 seconds” allows you to also use 10 seconds as a limit.

The listed limits are the Free Limits available for anyone in as many configs as they wish.

If you still need limits outside of these ranges, check the ✨ Premium Plan or reach out to the support server. You can see the broader limits for premium users here.

ℹ️ Info: For Mode 1, Mode 2 and Mode 5 (time-based modes): If a message gets edited and only meets your configured filters after the change, the deletion timer still uses the original send time of the message. This might lead to a message being deleted immediately or very quickly after being edited, which is intended behavior to prevent unpredictable the deletion rules.

Mode 1 - Time-Based Individual Deletion

Limit is specified as a time duration.

Limitations:

  • The duration must be more than 10 seconds
  • The duration must be less than 7 days

Examples:

  • 2h Delete each message after 2 hours
  • 3d 6h 5m Delete each message after 3 days, 6 hours and 5 minutes
  • 720m Delete each message after 720 minutes = 12 hours

Mode 2 - Interval-Based Bulk Deletion

Limit is specified as a time duration.

Limitations:

  • The duration must be more than 10 seconds
  • The duration must be less than 2 days

Examples:

  • 4h Delete all messages every 4 hours
  • 2d 1h Delete all messages every 2 days and 1 hour = every 49 hours

Mode 3 - Message Count-Based Bulk Deletion

Limit is specified as a simple number (message count).

Limitations:

  • The amount must be between 10 and 100

Examples:

  • 15 Delete all messages once 15 messages were sent in the channel
  • 100 Delete all messages after 100 messages in the channel

Mode 4 - Message Count-Based Single Deletion

Limit is specified as a simple number (message count).

Limitations:

  • The number must be between 3 and 200 (inlusively)

Examples:

  • 20 Keep the last 20 message in the channel

Mode 5 - Delete Daily at

Limit is specified as a HH:mm 24 hour format time. The timezone used for the calculation is UTC±0.

Examples:

  • 19:00 Delete all messages daily at UTC±0 19:00 / 7pm
  • 24:00 Delete all messages daily at UTC±0 midnight
