Как истекает срок действия аннулирования для группы потребителей Apache Kafka?

Я делал несколько тестов на старую тему, когда заметил странное поведение. Читая журнал Kafka, я заметил это сообщение "удалено 8 истекших смещений":

На самом деле у меня есть 2 вопроса:

1. Как работает истечение этого смещения для группы потребителей?

2. Может ли это смещение с истекшим сроком действия объяснить это поведение, когда мой потребитель не будет ничего опрашивать, когда у него было auto.offset.reset = latest, но он опрашивал с последнего зафиксированного смещения, когда у него было auto.offset.reset = earliest?
