Can you please explain the "expiry" of a post type? What does that mean?

Hi,

I think it's a general WordPress question than specifically for Meta Box.

These are the steps I'm thinking of (it requires some coding, though):
- Make a cron job in WordPress.
- In each run, get posts that have a specific status and were published before 30 days.
- Change their status.
