Description

Currently it's not possible to configure times when inline archiving of visibility and history data is triggered.
Archival can sometimes take a large number of resources, and it happens at unpredictable times at wf retention time. It would be helpful if users had the ability to configure a specific time or a time duration when archival should be performed (could be for example certain times when least production loads are expected).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the inline visibility and history archival implementation and its retention-time trigger, then review how archival configuration is loaded. Done should include a defined configuration for a scheduled time or duration, predictable archival behavior, and tests covering the trigger.
