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
