I “suggest” 😆 you look into the `suggested topics max days old` site setting. It defaults to 365.

I can agree when you have 10+ years of archives, unbounded (in time) topic suggestions can get rather bizarre. But with an appropriate time scope, it works well.

It’s also important that utterly and completely resolved topics get closed, because closed topics can’t be suggested.
