Automatically delete/marked as complete clogged overdue tasks on a recurring instance
To establish routines, I rely on recurring tasks. However, when I’m on holiday or miss a few days, these tasks pile up, leaving me unable to catch up on the overdue ones. It would be ideal if overdue recurring tasks could either be automatically marked as done or deleted, as it doesn’t make sense to keep tasks open when they can no longer be completed.

Optional auto-complete for recurring task occurrences after scheduled time
Auto-complete task status
Add an optional setting that automatically marks a recurring task's occurrence complete after its scheduled time has passed, with an easy way to undo it if the occurrence was actually skipped. The task should still appear in the calendar without needing to be marked done manually each day. Context: recurring tasks such as workouts and meal planning are often completed without reopening Akiflow.

Task: Auto Close Recurring Tasks
When a daily recurring task is not complete. It would help to be able to auto-close it. For example: I have a recurring 10-minute stand up meeting every morning. If I don't mark it complete, have it auto close and not be brought forward to the next day.

Automatically delete task if not done within a time period
I like to track habits. I'm wanting to switch from TickTick to using Akiflow for managing all my daily actions, habits included. I sometimes miss habits and don't want them stacking up as overdue. I'd rather they just disappeared to allow me to focus on only that days habit. Hopefully a small update that provides a feature for daily habit tracking but doesn't require full habit management in Akiflow (but I would love that too). Thank you!

Hey @Diego, I agree with you and there are several great ways to fix this problem
I provided a clear overview with a few examples in this post - could you have a look and upvote?
