Description

Messages older than a day no longer appear. Only a permanent "Digging ancient messages" shows up. The other party can still see all messages.

Possible cause - the other party revoked a device.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing-message behavior using the provided log ID, especially after the other party revokes a device. Trace the message-history and device-revocation paths; done means messages older than a day load normally instead of showing the permanent “Digging ancient messages” status.
