Read that, it explains what is actually done etc.
## Notes
- Not part of spec. https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/1763
- Matrix uses milliseconds, keep that in mind!
- Everything requires every server involved to have rention support enabled,
otherwise the messages go nowhere and are fetchable upon request.
- 86400000 = 1 day (seen in min lifetimes)
