Storage & data retention
Two limits govern how much history you keep:
- Telemetry storage (
max_storage, MB) — total stored measurements.0means unlimited. If you exceed it, new telemetry stops being stored until you free space or upgrade (live streaming still works). - Event retention (
event_retention_hours) — how long events stay in the feed.
Some realtime-only tiers set store_telemetry = false — data streams live to dashboards but isn't persisted, so charts have no history seed. To estimate usage, see how is my storage calculated?. Need history out of the platform? Use an egress integration.
