Paid relays should delete all events once the user stops paying.
There is nothing worse than an old Metadata event, with a lightning address you don't use anymore, coming back. And they "come back" simply because the relay won't update your event and won't accept a deletion, since you are not a paid user anymore.
Same for any restricted relays. Once the user can't control it's events, it should just delete everything.
Don't know about paid relays but on my free relay all events will be deleted periodically 😅
Anything else would be an archiving service.
Agreed. And most, paid or otherwise should have explicit retention policies, and indefinite seems unnecessary.
this is a best practice
I would happily relay through relays which deletes my notes after certain period of time. I had this Idea for such relay for a while, but couldn't find the time to set things up.
or accept deletion events if the user pays or not
Most stuff should be deleted regularly, anyway.

Erasing history is always fun
