I'm building a node.js app using MongoDB (mongoose). I have the following schema, and I want any entry to expire deleted after 5m. However, currently the entries get deleted after around 2 min. I have looked at all the documentation and have tried several ways but it deletes before 2 minutes. Any other way to solve this? Thank you in advance

const postSchema = new Schema({
  expireAt: {
    type: Date,
    default: Date.now,
    expires: 300
  },
  title: String,
  date: Date,
  country: String,
  salary: String,
  image: String,
  company: {
    type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
    ref: 'Company'
  },
  application: [{
    type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
    ref: 'Application'
  }]
})

I tried:

postSchema.index( { "expireAt": 1 }, { expireAfterSeconds: 60*60*24*5 #Every 5 days} )
