They must oblige within a certain time frame — even if your account has been suspended and I believe even if you've deleted your account. Curiously, this might be one effective way to protest. Golly I wonder what would happen if many people requested such reports simultaneously. It seems these must be processed manually by admins.

As a bonus, it's nice because all your comments and messages are searchable.

They're definitely automated. I doubt it'll do much in terms of protesting.

If it was automated I don't think it would be an arbitrary time within the 30 day window, would it? Unless it's a low-priority task scheduled automatically for off-peak times.

I got it the same day I requested it

Did you try requesting your data? I got my data within a day. They probably mention 30 days because that's the legally defined deadline, and to give themselves some leeway in case the automated system has issues with some user.

It also makes sense for them to make it a low-priority task, as they have a really long deadline for it, and you don't want it affecting the main site.

Yeah it took them around 20 days for me.
