14 days in many cases, 24 hours in some. That quick because it is very hard to ensure that app telemetry doesn't have any confidential / sensitive information. And if the purpose is troubleshooting, there's no value in old data.

When finding the proximate cause, it's pretty important to know whether a problem started today or went unnoticed for a month.
