API Stats Retention
Since version 1.32.0, API stats have dedicated retention settings, separate from general log retention.
Time to keep (API Stats)
Select how long API stats entries should be kept. Available options: 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months. Default is "3 months".
Max entries (API Stats)
Select the maximum number of API stats entries to keep. Available options: 5,000, 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, 100,000, Unlimited. Default is 50,000.
TIP
If your site processes many API requests, consider increasing the "Max entries" value or setting it to "Unlimited" and relying on the time-based cleanup instead. The higher defaults (compared to general logs) are designed to preserve enough data for meaningful API usage analysis.
