Stability improvements
l
ImprovementsmadetotheClean-upservice.Insomeproductionenvironmentsthedatabase
Clean-upcouldnotkeeppacewithdatabasegrowth,leadingtothedatabasegraduallyfillingup.
Thishasbeenfixedthroughanimprovedinternaldatabasestructureandmoreefficientqueries
anddeletions.(SHARED-46465/52345)
