Hi @athousandcrowns,

If you’re referring to the execution history, then n8n clears this out after some time to keep the db performant (14 days by default).

If you are self hosting, you can extend the time n8n keeps execution history using the below environment variable. If you need to keep the history for long term, then I would recommend creating a workflow which exports the execution history to another database for safe keeping.

EXECUTIONS_DATA_MAX_AGE=2160          # 3 months for example 
EXECUTIONS_DATA_PRUNE_MAX_COUNT=0     # 0 for unlimited

Thanks for the quick reply!

is there any chance of getting back the executions from december?

Unfortunately once they are deleted from the DB, you will not be able to get them back. Try and setup a backup workflow and changing your settings now for future cases
