Hi

what you are meaning with "run a modular input cleanup"? If this means also remove checkpoint value then the ingestion starts from scratch (read: from being of existent events). At some TAs you could see and copy checkpoint value e.g. to text file. After cleanup it may be possible to add old values back and continue from that point. But this is depending on TA.
