Data Load metadata expires after how many days?

• A. 64 Days
• B. 30 Days
• C. 90 Days
• D. 120 Days

Answer: (A)

Data Load metadata retention defines how long Snowflake keeps details about each load, so you can review what happened during data loads (file names, load IDs, row counts, errors, etc.) without letting metadata grow without bound. The default period is 64 days, meaning after that time the load metadata is purged. This provides a practical window for troubleshooting and audits while steering storage usage to a reasonable level. If you need longer history, you can adjust the retention setting or export the metadata before it expires. Other durations like 30 days or 90/120 days aren’t the standard default, so they aren’t the correct value in this context.
