slack-cleaner not recognizing older messages that Slack has hidden #64

On the mobile app, I see more messages that weren't deleted, those that are filtered on desktop, with the note "There's more to this conversation. to see and search this conversation's full history, upgrade to one of our paid plans." A bulk of our messages are in this section that Slack is trying to hide to incentivize us to pay. Is there a way to pull these via API? Does this have to do with the permission scope?

sorry as far as I know there is no way to access them anymore, regardless of whether using the api or any administrative permissions.

Thanks @sgratzl for confirming, appreciate your good work.
