So part of the journey thread I have on here I decided I got a free day today due to some meetings getting cancelled, so perfect work on my own little project for a change.

Decided to get my next round of keywords out of Ahrefs and I couldn't remember what I searched last or the specific phrase I was using. Not logged in since Dec. However, checking today it seems the 'History' tab bit gets ditched in the new year? I've had search information showing here for months. But not now?

This a bug or the normal? As mentioned, I've never seen it deleted previously not even after 6 months..

EDIT

AI Customer services is claiming this:
If you can't see your previous searches, it's likely related to your plan's historical data retention limits rather than an annual reset. The data retention period varies by subscription level, not calendar year


I didn't think was this a thing! :confused:
 
Yes being doing that for a while. I would guess at least 2 years ago I can recall it happening. I think you only still get it if you pay for the £359 version of it gives you the history part of it if not just this year's worth of data for some of it.
