Does Lemmy automatically purge old cached images? (lemmy.asudox.dev)

I just noticed that my pictrs image volume reached 20 GBs in size. Does Lemmy or pictrs not delete the cached images automatically after some time?

The proxied images will be refetched from the origin if they cant be found locally. There should also be a configurable maximum size for the image cache but I dont see it mentioned in the pictrs readme. So like Dessalines said you need to ask the developer directly.
