This is such weird self-destructive behavior by Reddit.

One oddity: I requested a complete archive on June 21 and received it on July 6, and for some reason it includes my incoming private messages going back only to Oct 2021.

I expected it to be either complete (~2015) or chopped off at 1/1/2023 like chat. Why Oct 2021???

I even seen messages there that I hadn't received in Reddit. There was someone selling weed.
