Data Storage
The SlitherSense system retains 1 month (four weeks) of data per-device by default. This setting is configurable however credits will be consumed per-month by doing so at a rate of (1 * data-storage-months) per month. Here's an example of how this works:
- You add/claim a device.
- You set the data retention duration to 6 months for this one device.
- You will be charged 6 credits per month to store that data for this device on the first of the next month. The minimum data retention duration is 1 month (four weeks, 28 days) which will consume one credit per month for that device.
