# Data retention

Retention is two numbers per plan, because the two kinds of data have
different lives.

| | Free | Starter | Team | Business |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Step-by-step detail | 7 days | 30 days | 90 days | 180 days |
| Run history | 30 days | 90 days | 1 year | 1 year |

**Step-by-step detail** is every step of every run, including full
inputs and outputs: what you see when you open a run's trace.

**Run history** is every run's record: outcome, evaluation result,
duration, cost, and all charts and trends.

After the detail period, the step-by-step data for a run is permanently
deleted. Your run history, evaluation results, and trends stay for the
full history period, so your dashboards and reports keep working.

For example: on Team, you can open the full step-by-step trace of any
run from the last 90 days, and see outcomes, costs, and quality trends
for the last year.

Deletion runs nightly and is permanent. Step-by-step detail older than
30 days may take a few extra seconds to load when first opened.
