Full Data Retention Moves to Enterprise
Retain All Data is now an Enterprise feature. New organizations are Metadata Only, and existing organizations that retain full payloads keep the setting until November 8, 2026. Usage analytics and the Responses API are unchanged.
Storing full prompts and completions is a compliance decision, not a default. Retain All Data is now available on the Enterprise plan only.
What changes
New organizations are Metadata Only. Request timestamps, models, token counts, latency, and costs stay in your logs and power the dashboard analytics; full request and response payloads are not stored. Enabling Retain All Data under Settings → Policies requires Enterprise.
What happens to existing organizations
Organizations that already retain full payloads keep the setting during a 30-day transition window. On November 8, 2026, organizations on llmgateway.io that are not on Enterprise switch to Metadata Only automatically; self-hosted deployments are not switched. You can make the switch earlier at any time; once an organization is Metadata Only, the setting cannot be re-enabled without Enterprise.
| Organization (llmgateway.io) | Before November 8, 2026 | From November 8, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | Retain All Data available | Unchanged |
| Existing, currently retaining payloads | Retain All Data kept | Metadata Only |
| Existing, Metadata Only | Metadata Only | Unchanged |
| New | Metadata Only | Unchanged |
Payloads already stored follow your organization's retention period and are deleted when it expires, exactly as before. Metadata Only logs carry no storage cost.
What does not change
The Responses API works independently of log retention. Stored responses remain available for 30 days for previous_response_id chaining and retrieval on every plan; send store: false to opt out.
The separate Enterprise zero data retention compliance policy, provider keys you bring yourself, and usage analytics are unaffected.
