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.
This setting works in conjunction with your chosen mode to control the deletion timing and frequency.
ℹ️ Info: For Mode 1 and Mode 2 (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 circumventing the deletion rules.
Limit is specified as a time duration.
Requirements:
Example: Setting a limit of "2 hours" means each message will be deleted 2 hours after it was sent.
Limit is specified as a time duration.
Requirements:
Example: Setting a limit of "30 minutes" means all matching messages will be deleted every 30 minutes.
Limit is specified as a simple number (message count).
Requirements:
Example: Setting a limit of "50" means all matching messages will be deleted once 50 qualifying messages have been posted.
Limit would be specified as a simple number.
Requirements (when available):
When setting a time duration for Mode 1 or Mode 2, you need to use specific time unit abbreviations. The bot understands various formats for flexibility.
| Time Unit | Accepted Abbreviations | Example Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Seconds | s, sec, secs |
30s, 45sec, 60secs |
| Minutes | m, min, mins |
5m, 10min, 30mins |
| Hours | h, hr, hrs |
2h, 3hr, 12hrs |
| Days | d, day, days |
1d, 2day, 3days |
