The availability period for page load and transaction tests depends on the data type and the organization that owns the test:

Detailed availability is the time period for which the generated HAR files and screenshots of a Browser Synthetics test are made available to you. The availability period is 45 days for all organization types.

When creating a dashboard or Endpoint Experience public snapshot, you have the option to set an automatic deletion date. This can be done by selecting the desired date when prompted during public snapshot creation. By default, the deletion date is set for one year after the public snapshot's creation, but you have the flexibility to select a date up to five years in the future. Once the set deletion date is reached, the public snapshot will be automatically removed from your account.
When using Internet Insights, Network & App Synthetics, or Device sharing links to create public snapshots, it's important to note that these snapshots will not be deleted from the system.
ThousandEyes trial accounts are limited in duration to 14 days. When the 14-day period ends, all tests stop running and all users, while still being able to log in, are limited to read-only operations. Test data from trial accounts is available for 14 days, and then expired on a rolling basis. Data for the Reports feature is available for 31 days, and then expired on a rolling basis.
The test results are available when the data is uploaded into the platform. Data that has been uploaded during a trial period (trial accounts have a 14 to 31-day data availability span; see above) will not be adjusted from 31 to 93 days when a trial account is converted into a paid account. On the other hand, the data that is uploaded into the platform after the conversion to a paid account has already happened will be made available for 31 to 91 days; see above.
