How long does Stripe retain API events?

How long does Stripe retain API events?

• A. 7 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 180 days
• D. Indefinitely

Answer: (B)

Events about your Stripe activity are kept for a 30-day window. This means you can fetch and review API events through Stripe’s API or the Dashboard for the last 30 days. After that period, Stripe does not guarantee access to those events, so if you need longer-term history you should archive them yourself—by storing the events you receive via webhooks or pulling them before they expire. The 30-day retention is shorter than indefinitely and longer than a few days, so it fits a balance between debugging needs and data storage.
