The analytics data lake keeps a fixed, non-configurable rolling 25-month window with the cutoff moving at 00:00 UTC; to keep data longer, customers must copy it to storage they control, for example with CTAS or UNLOAD queries into their own S3 bucket.

Checked 2026-09-24

The 25-month window is fixed. You cannot change the retention period.
