does k3s garbage collector collects events?

[migs35323]

Environmental Info:
K3s Version: 1.27
(originally 1.23 or 1.24)

Cluster Configuration:
3 masters(servers) + workers(agents),
(originally 1 master with sqlite as DB)

Describe the bug:

I have this cluster for a year and i noticed i still have events from 200+ days ago
i tried to google but i only get info about the containers/images garbage collection..

so i have several questions

1. aren't events supposed to be garbage collected periodically by default?
2. does k3s changes this behavior or makes some custom configuration from upstream kubernetes?
3. choosing to garbage collect event older than is even an option i can change?

1. they're not garbage collected, but they do have a TTL
2. no
3. https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-apiserver/

   --event-ttl duration     Default: 1h0m0s
   Amount of time to retain events.

Note that events that continue to occur will be renewed by newer matching events.
