InfluxDB 2

Hi

When i create new bucket i can set retention for “Never”, but if i change it e.g. to 1y, then i can’t set it back for never - why or how fix it ?

@lakusz1influx @Chriz you can update the retention to “infinite” using the influx CLI:

influx bucket update -i <your-bucket-id> --retention 0

Thy so much, that did it :slight_smile:

I had the same issue but the command line command fixed it. Is there some reason though why the UI cannot do it? This is a rather obvious bug.

Same here, for the books, I’m using:

InfluxDB v2.6.0
Server: 24a2b62
Frontend: cbab7db

This is a open issue since almost two years … assuming there is no intention to fix it!?

I just changed the retention time to 99 years in the GUI. I think thats long enough :wink:
