The expiration policy for inactive assistants and threads has changed?

I’m just starting with the assistant feature. I’ve researched data retention related to the assistant API, and they said that the data will be retained indefinitely if we don’t delete it via the dashboard or API. However, in some forums, people have mentioned that the assistant or thread will be automatically deleted after a certain period of time if not updated. Has the policy recently changed?

I have two threads in my dashboard from mid-April.

@thuhientran the openai assistant api data is retained until 30 days only if you manually delete it.

If you aren’t deleting it will be indefinitely persisted.

Assistants API:
Objects related to the Assistants API are deleted from our servers 30 days after you delete them via the API or the dashboard. Objects that are not deleted via the API or dashboard are retained indefinitely.
