> InfluxDB 3.0 open source will be called InfluxDB 3 Core, a recent-data engine persisting Parquet files and enabling queries against the last 72 hours of data. Development of Core will carry on under the permissive MIT or Apache 2 license

> InfluxDB 3 Core gives developers a new tool for time series data management—a high-performance recent-data engine optimized for querying the last 72 hours of data. This focused approach enables Core to deliver exceptional performance for real-time monitoring, data collection, and streaming analytics use cases. By optimizing specifically for this pattern, we’ve achieved query response times under 10ms for last-value queries and under 50ms for hour-long ranges.

The limitation of 72 hours of data is a bit disappointing. There are use cases that don't require 50ms query response times, but instead need longer on-prem storge. InfluxDB 1.X and 2.X supported these well. Would it be possible to reduce query performance and extend data retention?

Is there any guidance on a planned EOL for InfluxDB 1.X and 2.X once Core reaches GR?
