      Hi You can use Scheduled Flows. Run a flow daily and get all the cases where verified = true and change their status to closed. Example : https://accidentalcoder.blogspot.com/2020/06/schedule-flows-salesforce.html

      There is a feature called a fault path that works perfectly well. You can write to a log object if you'd like.
