Hi Team,
Could you please confirm how long the **Elastic AI Assistant / Agent Builder chat history** is retained by default?
Is there any **default retention period (e.g., 30/60/90 days)**, and can this retention period be configured?

It seems like to chat count (max 99 chats) rather than days.
> Each user’s chat history (up to the 99 most recent conversations) and custom Quick Prompts are automatically saved, so you can leave Elastic Security and return to a conversation later. Chat history appears to the left of the AI Assistant chat window, and on the **Conversations** tab of the **AI Assistant settings** menu. To access the settings menu, use the global search field to search for "AI Assistant for Security" or open the menu in the upper-right of the AI Assistant chat window.
