Why do past events disappear on the calendar, but others stay visible?

AI-generated summary

Ryan_Scott is experiencing an issue where past events disappear from the calendar, while others remain visible. Despite toggling the admin setting to prevent events from being deleted, the issue persists. Ryan_Scott suspects the problem may be related to the event’s privacy setting or the groups invited to private events. Lilly suggests that the issue might be with the upcoming events calendar and provides links to related topics on Meta Discourse (display old events on the upcoming events page and past events keep getting deleted). Ryan_Scott confirms that the solution provided in the topics has already been implemented, specifically toggling the setting to include past/expired events on the category calendar and upcoming events views.
