Ok sorry as normally 3 months is 90 days and I just added a 1 to it, but I get what you mean if months have 31 I should really do 93 as I want to give it extra room incase

Why did you change the recommended 92 days into 91?
Consider June, July and August:
June has 30 days
July has 31 days
August has 31 days
So, on September 1st, June 1st is 92 days ago, and you can delete the logs for
May 31st, which are older than 92 days.
If you deleted older than 91 days, you would be deleting June 1st on September
1st, and one day this might be significant to someone.
