Now that the activity feed is a complete record of who did what, it needs a stated lifespan rather than an implied one.

Activity is kept for 100 days. Entries older than that are removed automatically. The window comfortably covers a quarter-end review and every reporting period the analytics pages use.

If you need to keep it longer, export it. The Business audit export writes the full record to CSV for any date range you choose — timestamp, actor, action, bucket and job. Exported files are yours, with no expiry. If your organization has a retention obligation beyond 100 days, a scheduled export is the way to meet it.

Two things worth being direct about:

• •Removal is permanent. There is no archive behind the feed and no way to recover entries once they age out — which is exactly why the window is published here rather than left as an implementation detail.
• •Nothing else is affected. This applies only to the activity record. Your buckets, objects, jobs, backups and their run history are untouched and have no such window.
