MY WORKFLOW . create ({ retention: { successRetention: "2 days" , errorRetention: "30 days" , }, }); const instance = await env. MY WORKFLOW . create ({ retention: { successRetention: "2 days" , errorRetention: "30 days" , }, }); You can also set the retention period per Workflow and per instance in the Cloudflare dashboard ↗︎ .
