I think you want:
timeout_frozen_after = 1d
From spect.txt:
timeout_frozen_after Type: time Default: 0s
If "timeout_frozen_after" is set to a time greater than zero, a
frozen message of any kind that has been on the queue for longer than
the given time is automatically cancelled at the next queue run. If it
is a bounce message, it is just discarded; otherwise, a bounce is sent
to the sender,in a similar manner to cancellation by the -Mg command
line option.
If you want to timeout frozen bounce messages earlier than other kinds
of frozen message, see "ignore_bounce_errors_after".
