Adjusting Kafka topic retention period while messages are still expiring

Hello everyone! I have a question that i can’t find a straightforward answer to by searching:

I have a topic that has a retention of 7 days and i’m fighting errors with consuming the messages from the topic. I’m bumping up against the 7 day window and need to give myself more time to figure out a solution. If i change the retention to 14 days does that mean all messages that still exist in the topic will now inherit that 14 day retention window even if they are currently sitting at 2 days to expiration in the current 7 day retention period?

All messages will be saved for 14 days. The log-cleaner just looks for messages older than X, the retention isn’t embedded in the messages

awesome! Thank you very much
