 ## Notes
-> - Ensure `mongoose` is initialized with `autoIndex: true` **or** manually create a TTL index on the `expireAt` field of the collection (default: `MultiLevelStorage` or your custom collection name).

Passing the main mongoose object is still supported for backward compatibility, but using the connection object is preferred.
