WP change request for output of records for the last 30 days

Current request:

$popular_posts = get_posts("cat=-104&orderby=comment_count");

It is necessary to withdraw for the last 30 days. What should I change in the request? I understand that you need to add & and you can use the date, for example, for this month to output: $popular_posts = get_posts('cat=-104&orderby=comment_count&year=' . $year . '&monthnum=' . $month); after marking it:

$month = date('m');
$year = date('Y');

But how to play with the days in the query? So that the output is for the last 30 days in get_posts. That is, how to pass it through the parameter date_query

The code is

$args = array(
    'category'   => - 104,
    'orderby'    => 'comment_count',
    'date_query' => array(
        array(
            'after' => '30 days ago',
        ),
    ),
);

$popular_posts = get_posts( $args );

And you can still do it like this:

$args = array(
    'category'   => -104,
    'posts_per_page' => 5,
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'orderby' => 'comment_count',
    'order' => 'DESC',
    'date_query' => array(
        'after' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-10 days')) 
    )
); 
$posts = popular_posts ($args);
