I think it does affect how long it’s possible to delete a topic (the first post). That becomes impossible after someone replies or after the `edit time limit` passes. But if I remember correctly, the `edit time limit` does not influence the deletion of replies.

According to the [Trust Level Permissions Reference](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trust-level-permissions-reference/224824) there is only a limit per minute and per day, no time based limit
