In Emacs 29, if you want to see articles that are less than N days old,
you can enter

  / t - N RET

or

  C-u / t N RET

in the summary buffer.  (The docstring for gnus-summary-limit-to-age
only describes the second form, but the prompt tells you about the
possibility of using the first form.)

In Emacs 30, only the 2nd sequence works.

I don't see this change documented in NEWS; I think there should be an
entry for the change.

Oh, another change to gnus-summary-limit-to-age that's probably worth
calling out: it looks like "less than 1 day old" now means "since
midnight".  In Emacs 29, it meant "less than 24 hours old".

I'd recommend opening a new bug report for this issue.

BTW, I suppose this is due to:

commit 0dd7e6e3aeac1ab0a03f2ed2ad108deecde82447
Author: Eric Abrahamsen <eric <at> ericabrahamsen.net>
Date:   Sat Sep 23 16:31:10 2023 -0700

  Have gnus-summary-limit-to-age operate on calendar days

  Reported and patched by Łukasz Stelmach <stlman <at> poczta.fm>.

  * lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-limit-to-age): Rather than
  24-hour blocks. Also use `read-number', and drop the confusing option
  to reverse younger/older both with the prefix argument and with a
  negative number.

Eric, could you please take a look at this?
