Yeah, the whole Gnus documentation is a fun read.

This cannot work. gnus-summary-limit-to-age is a function, so you have
to call it somewhere. That's where hooks are for.

I tested it and get a similar error. (something with max-eval-depth)

Not really. But this one works for me:

(add-hook 'gnus-summary-prepared-hook
          (lambda ()
            (gnus-summary-limit-to-age 1 t)))

This time its gnus-summary-prepared-hook hook, instead of
gnus-summary-prepare-hook.
