2038-01-19T03:14:07Z (ISO8601 format) to be exact. This is a consequence of the 32-bit time counter since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 that Unix uses.

When 64-bit integers become the norm, this will naturally go up...

Hello, Does anyone know what the max is in terms of retention in networker?
I've tried 99 years and it wasn't happy.

I think at the moment there is a limit of some time in 2038. Something to do with Unix times since the epoch. I expect it will change as 2038 gets a little nearer.
