To set the lost collector days, use the setLostCollectorDays() mutation. To get the number of lost collector days, use the getLostCollectorDays() query.

Syntax

graphql
deleteLostCollectors(
      dryRun: boolean!, 
      days: integer!
   ): integer

For this input, you'll have to indicate the number of days to delete, and whether this is a dry run. See the Given Datatype section for details. For the results, it'll return the number of days successfully deleted.
