You will need to check the docs :wink: Just search on google for n8n env variables.

By default n8n keeps the last 10k executions or the executions for the last 2 weeks. Executions environment variables | n8n Docs Environment variables to configure settings related to workflow executions.

I found EXECUTIONS_DATA_MAX_AGE and set it to 336, which is supposed to result in 14 days. Nevertheless, I still see no more than two days of execution history. Any ideas how to extend the period? Thanks!

Have you restarted the n8n after setting the ENV value?

Yes, I did docker-compose down docker-compose up -d

By default n8n keeps the last 10k executions or the executions for the last 2 weeks.

All my executions disappeared after reaching 100k; how to fix and prevent again?
