Vercel Sandbox snapshots now allow custom retention periods

By Steven Van ·

Sandbox snapshot expiration is now configurable from one day to never, with a new 30-day default instead of the old seven-day cap.

Vercel Sandbox snapshots can now be set to expire anywhere from one day to never, replacing the previous fixed seven-day limit. Snapshots that don't specify an expiration now default to 30 days, up from seven.

The expiration is set per snapshot, either by passing an expiration value when calling snapshot in the SDK or with the --expiration flag in the CLI, where a value of 0 means the snapshot never expires.
