06:58 AMI have a question about how to remove documents from Typesense (Typesense Cloud).
For example, if I want to delete 100 documents from a collection, how do I write the query? I used page and per_page, but I could not limit the number of documents to be deleted.

07:07 AMMine is 0.20.0.
Is there any way to write the query as follows?
client.collections("reactions").documents().delete({limit: 100,filter_by: updatedAt:>${unixTimestamp}&&reactionType:=2,});Kishore Nallan

07:13 AMAn alternative approach will be to launch a new 0.22 cluster, re-index your data, test and switch your app and shut the old clusters after that.
