Well, maybe you had deleted your objects when you set leeway_second
with 1 day, and later you changed leeway_second to 5min? Changing
leeway_second won't change deletion timing of already deleted objects.

FYI, maybe it's not what you want, but there's a detailed description
[1] on internal design and behaviour of garbage collection.

Of course Riak CS and Riak is not a black box, how Riak CS uses Riak
is open-sourced and not hidden. For developers and hard-core
operators, there's just very primitive tool to diagnose Riak CS by
hitting Riak directly. It is riak_cs_inspector, installed in
/usr/lib/riak-cs/lib/riak_cs-1.4.5/priv/tools/internal/riak_cs_inspector.erl
. See [2] for detailed usage. It prints Riak CS internal data in
structured manner but it is still hard to find the answer "how many
objects to be deleted today?" .

I think your assumption is very natural, because there should be some
operational visibility tools like you said.
