Comment:

 I think this is a good idea. I like the option of single cleanup events
 paired with a daily event to check for missed files the best.

 My one concern is that once a site has many completed requests, the daily
 cron checking for missed files will not be performant (I don't think it
 will be uncommon for users to keep completed requests for the record). A
 date query could help with that, only querying requests updated within the
 last X days. For this value, we can default to 3 days, but we should make
 sure to use the `wp_privacy_export_expiration` filter that is also used in
 `wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files()` in case a site changes the
 expiration time.

 Multisite support is on the

 Map]. @boonebgorges if you have any more multisite feedback, please do
 collect it and drop it in #core-privacy.
