since this is a tmpfiles.d snippet provided by a package, install it in
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/. /etc/tmpfiles.d is supposed to be reserved for the

Not quite. It means files/directories which haven't been *accessed* for
more then 1 day will be deleted. Quoting the man page:

"If a file or directory is older than the current time minus the age
field it is deleted."

The systemd-tmpfiles-clean service is run daily, not only during boot.

Cheers,
Michael
