RtControl showing 'never' for completion time for every torrent

Question

I'm trying to use RtControl to automatically delete torrents older than a certain amount of time. However, my command isn't working, and when I try either rtcontrol -q -o completed \* or rtcontrol -q -o loaded \* both show 'never' for every single torrent, even though they're all completed, as confirmed by rtcontrol is_complete=yes. I'm using ruTorrent to manage rTorrent, could that be the problem?

You need the standard config included (so you have the finished event handler), and fix the times for any existing items, as per the docs.

# PyroScope SETTINGS

# Set "pyro.extended" to 1 to activate rTorrent-PS features!
# LEAVE THIS AT 0 IF YOU RUN A VANILLA rTorrent!
system.method.insert = pyro.extended, value|const, 0

# Set "pyro.bin_dir" to the "bin" directory where you installed the pyrocore tools!
# Make sure you end it with a "/"; if this is left empty, then the shell's path is searched.
system.method.insert = pyro.bin_dir, string|const,

# Remove the ".default" if you want to change something (else your
# changes get over-written on update).
system.method.insert = pyro.rc_dialect, string|const|simple, "execute_capture=bash,-c,\"test $1 = 0.8.6 && echo -n 0.8.6 || echo -n 0.8.9\",dialect,$system.client_version="
system.method.insert = pyro.rtorrent_rc, string|const|private, "$cat=~/.pyroscope/rtorrent-,\"$pyro.rc_dialect=\",.rc.default"
import = $pyro.rtorrent_rc=

# Set the second argument to "-v" or "-q" to change log verbosity.
schedule = pyro_watchdog,30,300,"pyro.watchdog=~/.pyroscope,"
