Question

Is there a way to set the GitHub package's retention policy like below?

• Remove if 90 days have passed since the version was published
• Remove if not downloaded within 90 days

Context

we have published some codes to github private package versioning with build number (e.g. commit sha). but the github package max version count limit is 1000 in based on limits for published npm versions.

If you publish over 1,000 npm package versions to GitHub Packages, you may see performance issues and timeouts occur during usage.

In the future, to improve performance of the service, you won't be able to publish more than 1,000 versions of a package on GitHub. Any versions published before hitting this limit will still be readable.

We can use actions like this, but I think the ideal direction is to support a retention policy that cleans up packages that have not been used in the last few days. In RESTful API related to package, there is no API that returns the date of the last download.
