Failed executions disappear from the list of workflow executions

Describe the problem/error/question

I have built a workflow, that I configured to save the failed executions only, and not save any successful ones. I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that the number of failed executions that I can see under the “executions” tab of my workflow decreases from day to day, i.e some failed executions would disappear, without that I explicitely deleted them or even retried them.

I was thinking that a failed execution that we store only gets deleted if I manually delete it. Does anyone have any explanation on what might be causing these failed executions to disappear from the workflow in my case? Do the executions for e.g expire after a certain time?

Thanks in advance,
Malek

Hello @Malek_Trabelsi

There are some env variables that define how to clear the old executions. By default an execution will be deleted after 2 weeks
