So the 336 hour purge is not in play?

If I had a 1sat/vb from 6 weeks ago, would it still be there?

As default, it should be, but each mempool can have their own rules.

Also, from what I understand if mempool is over 300MB, low fee transactions get dropped earlier than the 2 weeks. (please someone correct me if I am wrong)

I hadn't heard of this till I heard Sessions mention it.

What confuses me is that on mempool.space you can still see a lot of 1 sat/vb transactions sitting there. If this were true they would have been purged weeks ago.
