title: Limits for AWS Batch job details retention
body: <p>I'm trying to understand how long the details associated with an AWS Batch job are retained. For example, the <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/service-sizes-and-limits.html" rel="noreferrer">Kinesis limits page</a> describes how each stream defaults to a 24 hour retention period that is extendable up to 7 days.</p>
  <p>The AWS <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/batch/latest/userguide/service_limits.html" rel="noreferrer">Batch limits page</a> does not include any details about either the maximum time or count allowed for jobs. It does say that one million is the limit for SUBMITTED jobs, but its unclear if that is exclusively for SUBMITTED or includes other states as well.</p>
  <p>Does anybody know the details of batch job retention?</p>
