How does the youtube daily maintenance generally work? If I have 1000 videos and add 10 each day, what should I set the maintenance count to in order to ensure that all non-existent videos are deleted?

The YouTube daily maintenance rolls around all videos testing the specified number every day, so if you have 1000 YT videos and the daily test is set to 100, then any non-valid videos would be removed within 10 days. So you need to consider the total number of YT videos, how many are being added daily, acceptable latency in finding non-valid videos, and to a lesser extent, server load when doing the test in order to decide the desired daily test number, and then review this setting regularly.

Thanks, Paul. So it does get to the earliest uploaded video and then roll back to the latest and start back down? Is that the path direction it takes?

Have just looked at the code. Starting with the earliest -

Day 1 - 1 to 100
Day 2 - 101 to 200
Day 3 - 201 to 300
etc.

One caveat is that if you have 1001 videos, say, on the 11th day only one video will be tested then the index counter then reset to 1.
