How long should you keep AI coding session logs?
By the AgentReceipt team · Updated 13 November 2026
Records of AI sessions can contain code and prompts. The longer you keep them, the more there is to protect.
Pick a period, then stick to it
A fixed period is easier to defend than “until someone deletes it”. Choose one that matches how long you need to review or investigate a change.
Keep a copy where you choose
AgentReceipt keeps receipts for seven days in the dashboard. Then the manager is emailed a report with one PDF per employee, and the receipts are deleted from the dashboard. The copy you keep is in your own mail or storage.
Do not store secrets at all
Retention only reduces exposure. The better protection is not to record secrets in the first place, by redacting them before anything is stored.
