Claim 5:
6. The method of claim 1, wherein:
a timeline corresponding to the monotonically increasing time source is partitioned into a plurality of intervals,
the method further comprises identifying a plurality of consecutive intervals of the timeline based at least in part on the expiration job, wherein identifying the plurality of consecutive intervals comprises:
identifying an ending interval of the plurality of consecutive intervals that encompasses the current value indicated by the monotonically increasing time source, and
identifying a beginning interval of the plurality of consecutive intervals, wherein a leading edge of the beginning interval is separated from a trailing edge of the ending interval by a value corresponding to the retention duration, and

the reference value of the monotonically increasing time source is identified based at least in part on the leading edge of the beginning interval, the reference value of the monotonically increasing time source corresponding to the leading edge of the beginning interval.
