$maxAge and server clock

I intend to set $maxAge to some of our command streams to reduce the db size. If accidently one node of the clusters has the time setting to future, will all the events removed?

Individual nodes won’t do anything to their streams unless the node is the cluster member. The cluster can only be formed from the nodes, which have their time synchronised, otherwise the member won’t be accepted (you get an exception).
