I don't think the 'O' interacts with expiry in any way, but I'm
certainly not an expiry-expert in any way (I don't use it at home, I
use it casually at work, and I've never used auto-expire).
When investigating why some articles older than 30 days aren't expired
I would ignore the 'O', if I were you, I think.
Hopefully someone with better understanding of this can jump in and
enlighten things.
Best regards,
