-In short, you may and will see articles with date older than the cutoff
-for purging. Here’s why:
+Purging is performed on successful feed update, no updates = no purging. Feed updates are automatically stopped for users after a certain period of inactivity (`DAEMON_UPDATE_LOGIN_LIMIT`) which also disables purging of their feeds.
-- starred articles are not purged;
-- purging is done based on import date internal to tt-rss which
-could be different from the timestamp specified by the feed (i.e.
-article says it was published on 01-01-1970 but it was imported today);
-- tt-rss bumps import date every time article is encountered in the feed, otherwise
-it will get purged and imported again on every feed update causing constantly reappearing duplicates;
-- purging is performed after feed was updated hence disabled updates = no purging;
+Starred articles are never purged, unread articles are purged if relevant preference is enabled.
