Tip only: small-batch the Gmail trash fire

Gmail timed the bot out before 2,000 deletes. Smaller batches, plus daily triage.

What hurt

Austin H pointed a bot (Edith) at 35k+ Gmail messages after a usage reset. Gmail put her in timeout before 2,000 deletes. He told a chief of staff to slow her down into smaller batches, and also set daily triage so Edith reports today’s mail to CoS — to stop the pile forming again. No shared prompt.

What to install or create

Cleanup bot + a CoS. Small batches after a timeout. Daily triage of new mail. You confirm what may be deleted. Tip only.

Bots

  • Edith

    Small-batch Gmail cleanup and a daily new-mail report. Stops on every delete class you have not allowed.

Plugins

  • Gmail

    Required

Files

  • Optional: labels or senders you already decided may be deleted.

Routines

  • Daily new-mail triage to a chief of staff. Cleanup in small batches, not one 35k sweep.

The prompt

This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.

First run

  1. 1Read the cited tweet. Tip only — no pasted prompt, no 35k-delete playbook.
  2. 2Connect Gmail. Name a cleanup bot and, if you want, a chief of staff.
  3. 3Start with a tiny batch. If Gmail times the bot out, go smaller, not harder.
  4. 4Hang a daily triage: today’s mail, reported, not auto-deleted.
  5. 5You confirm deletes. Never unsubscribe or send unless you said yes.

Approval fence

Do not delete, archive, send, or unsubscribe without your yes.

What to tweak

Steal the throttle plus the daily triage. Do not aim a fresh quota at 35k deletes.
