Same goes for long time existing nodes that add an echoarea for the first time.

For sure. The sqpack bug question should ask what happend to a long time existing node that added a very old echoarea with thousands of messages but didn't have activity for months?

I do assume that long time existing nodes do have some level of automation and that they run daily mainenance procedures like sqpack.

With a purge time of 30 days and a date_written trigger the new 1000s messages echo will be wiped at the first sqpack schedule completely.

data_arrived would make sure that the "new" old messages are available for 30 days and will be rescanable by the nodes downlinks within this period.

With a "network" point of view the date_arrived is no bug, it's a reliability feature.

Regards
