I just can’t find or recall how I did this earlier… The category setting Auto-close topic after:: how do I disable it? Now it allows change time ranges only.

That was it. Thanks. Not too intuitive way, though — or I’m too limited :winking_face_with_tongue:

You are not alone. It was moved recently to the ‘Moderation’ category settings tab; I had my time trying to find it on the ‘Settings’ one.

Disabling autoclose topics?
