Currently, one-time-keys are issued in a somewhat random order. (In practice, they are issued according to the lexicographical order of their key IDs.) That can lead to a situation where a client gives up hope of a given OTK ever being used, whilst it is still on the server.

Pull Request Checklist

  • Pull request is based on the develop branch
  • Pull request includes a changelog file. The entry should:
    • Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users. "Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers." instead of "Moved X method from EventStore to EventWorkerStore.".
    • Use markdown where necessary, mostly for code blocks.
    • End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
    • Start with a capital letter.
    • Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by @github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the entry.
  • Code style is correct
    (run the linters)

To work around the fact that,
pre-#17903, our database may have old
one-time-keys that the clients have long thrown away the private keys for, we
want to delete OTKs that look like they came from libolm.

To spread the load a bit, without holding up other background database updates,
we use a scheduled task to do the work.
