Well we gave up on this - I mean on group expiration. The reason was sometimes someone might forgot to renew the group and the group expires - and here we got a problem. The group got removed and we couldn't restore it back, we engaged MS, appeared that we needed to use owner account that created the team - thank God we haven't removed the AD account yet - so it couldn't be any owner but the owner who created the team. There are two problems tho - if group has more than one owner / or the owner changed over time it is not possible to check who actually created the team - or I was not able to find it, and second: the restore process haven't restored that chat. As this expire/restore process was so dodgy - we revoke this setting and resigned from using this expiration feature at all since then. Time flies so it might changed but we haven't got time or noone was interested one more time in using this feature.

Oh my. Thank you for this information that is... unsettling. We have legality concerns for data retention.
