Removing messages from cache after a certain time

        messages: {
          interval: 3600,
          filter: Sweepers.filterByLifetime({
            lifetime: 3600
          })
        }

        messages: {
          interval: 3600,
          filter: Sweepers.filterByLifetime({
            lifetime: 3600
          })
        }

Could the code above that removes messages from cache after an hour affect events like messageCreate, messageDelete, messageUpdate or messageBulkDelete?

If you have partials disabled, then messageDelete and messageUpdate (unsure about messageBulkDelete) may not emit on messages that were removed from the cache Those swept messages would be treated the same as messages sent before your bot last started: uncached but the events can still emit if you have the correct partial(s)

I have the message partial but for example, let's say someone edits their message to a rule-breaking message after 1 hour (so after it was removed from cache) would messageCreate still trigger?

messageCreate would never trigger in that scenario messageUpdate would still emit only because you have the partial Same goes for Delete
