Docs clarification: background=true + store=false support and 24-hour Interactions retention #3153
Documentation clarification (no live backend reproduction)
Two current official guides appear to disagree about Interactions API background execution and temporary result storage:
Background execution — Data retention for background execution: describes background=true with store=false as retaining the project interaction for 24 hours for GET retrieval. The REST examples use Api-Revision: 2026-05-20 and the guide lists standard model gemini-4-argon as supported.
Could you clarify the current contract for the Gemini Developer API v1beta/interactions, standard model gemini-4-argon, revision 2026-05-20?
Is background=true, store=false supported, with results retrievable by the returned interaction ID?
If supported, what is the maximum request/result retention period, when does that clock begin, and does the same bound apply to completed, failed and cancelled interactions?
Is the stated 24-hour project-retrieval TTL distinct from other provider logging/retention policies that an application must consider? Which official document defines those boundaries?
If store=true is actually required, is there any officially supported at-most-24-hour background request/result retention option for a paid-tier project?
Please point to the applicable model/revision-specific documentation or correct the conflicting wording. This is a documentation question, not a claim that a particular combination has been tested. No account information, credentials, research content or provider response is included.
Hi @hutg99, great catch! Thank you for pointing out the conflicting wording between the Background execution and Interactions overview documentation pages.
We have escalated this to our engineering and documentation teams to clarify the background=true + store=false retention contract and will review the documentation for potential updates.
Thanks
