Support MSC1763 configurable retention periods #16625

nostraboonus · 2021-03-08T13:39:28Z

We configured retention on several rooms. After the purge job removed the events on server side, the expired events are still visible on client.

configure retention job on Synapse Server
write message in room
waiting till retention job removed the message
message in room still appears in current session
Closing or reloading tab has no effect on this issue
Only logout from current session, deletes the messages
After login on element-web or restart of element-desktop the expired messages disappeared

It is expected that expired messages on connected devices will be deleted immediately or always when the tab/client is opened.
