We have tons of cloud recordings that were recorded with a generous retention period. We’re running low on space and we need to lower the retention period for _existing_ cloud recordings so that meetings are auto deleted earlier than originally planned.

There is no existing API call for this.

We’d like a API calls to modify a cloud recording’s “Auto Delete In” configuration.

In the example below the recording of the meeting “Virtual Eugene” will be auto deleted in 300 days and I need to change that to 90 days.
