+## Why are Cockpit pricing plans being deprecated?
+
+From January 1st 2025, Cockpit is transitioning away from fixed pricing plans to offer you more flexibility and granularity for managing data [retention](/observability/cockpit/concepts/#retention).
+
+This change allows you to tailor retention settings to your specific needs. We hope to enhance your experience by providing more customizable options without immediate cost impact, as changing data retention period will be free during Beta.

+## Retention
+
+Retention or data retention refers to the duration for which data, such as metrics, logs, or traces, is stored before being automatically deleted. Retention allows you to manage the lifecycle of your Scaleway and custom data by selecting storage periods that align with your needs.
+
+The minimum and maximum retention periods for each data source type are as follows:
+
+| Custom metrics                                 | Custom logs/traces                          | Scaleway metrics                               | Scaleway logs/traces                        |
