What is the meaning of this hadith -
“The caliphate will be for thirty years, then there will be a kingship after that.”
[Collected by at-Tirmidhi (2226) who graded it ḥasan, as did Ibn Ḥajar in Muwāfaqat al-Khabar al-Khabar (1/141); Aḥmad (21969) and deemed ḥasan by al-Arna’ūṭ; Abu Dāwūd (4646) who deemed it ṣāliḥ (acceptable); and authenticated by al-Albani in Ṣaḥīḥ at-Tirmidhi and Ṣaḥīḥ Abu Dāwūd]

Was Mu'awiyas rule considered a kingship?
Also, up to al-Hasan, it was a 29 year rule, not 30 - is 30 years just a rounded number ?
