Bounded operational copies, such as backups and delivery queues, expire on their own separate schedules. There is no per-message flag; ephemerality is applied automatically based on your configuration.

  * The window can be set anywhere from **60 minutes to 24 hours**, and defaults to **24 hours**. Ask your Linq support contact to configure a shorter window; it cannot be changed through the API.

  * - **No expiry timestamp is exposed.** API responses and webhook payloads do not include the deletion time, and they do not report your configured window either — so if you are on a window shorter than 24 hours you cannot derive a message's expiry from the API today. Track the window you agreed with your Linq support contact and compute `created_at + window` yourself.
  * - **No deletion webhook is sent.** There is no `message.deleted` event — a message simply stops being retrievable once its window passes.
- * - **The backstop governs Linq storage.** API retrievability (the `404` behavior above) ends at your configured window. Ephemeral-tier media objects are removed on their own storage backstop — within roughly 24–48 hours of upload — which is independent of the message window and can outlast a window shorter than a day. Removal of the corresponding entries from the sending device happens asynchronously and can complete after the backstop.
