As per the report, the previous limit was 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 16 seconds. Now, the new time limit is really 2 days and 12 hours, the same one that was planned during the development of the feature. Please note that WhatsApp is also working on another improvement for the delete for everyone feature: the ability to delete any message in groups if you’re a group admin, in the future. 

There will be another update that enables this feature at a later date. WhatsApp is now gradually rolling out the new time limit to some beta testers, and more activations are planned over the coming weeks.

In related news, WhatsApp is likely working on a new feature that will allow users to put in an appeal in case their account has been blocked due to any reason.
