Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hibiken/asynq/issues/711

It seems asynq tasks aren't being removed from redis which is making the redis memory full
I tried to get the TTL for a key and it's returning -1 which means it will never be expired. How to set TTL for a task?

The GC is done internally. Set asynq.Retention when submitting tasks.

I have set asynq.Retention while enqueueing but the memory is still growing so the key number. Is that because of tasks being archived and not being deleted for 90 days? @kamikazechaser

Archived tasks are different from completed tasks. The Retention option will successfully remove the completed ones.

Btw you can also use the inspector manually to delete tasks in various states manually in your own periodic go routiune.
