Anthropic says Claude Code will keep deleting transcripts older than 30 days

Claude Code, Anthropic's code‑generation assistant, automatically removes conversation transcripts after 30 days. The retention policy applies to all users of the service. Users have reported loss of older transcripts they wished to keep. Anthropic responded that the deletion behavior is intentional. The company stated it will not modify the 30‑day limit. This decision means developers must export needed data before the cutoff. The policy may affect workflows that rely on long‑term transcript access. Observers will watch for any future changes to Anthropic's data‑retention approach.
