The redshfit auto-snapshot retention period has expired. The snapshot does not delete and exists. why? Can I know the cause?

0

Hello, Currently, I set the redshift auto-snapshot retention period to 1 day. The redshift version is ra3.xplus.

As far as I know, redshift auto-snapshots are automatically deleted when the retention period is exceeded in redshift.

However, if you check the snapshot in the redshift console, the snapshot still exists even after the retention period has expired.

Can someone please assist with this issue? Can I know the cause?

    Can you confirm with me if it's still there? Maybe it needs some time to refresh

Your understanding is correct indeed. Automatic snapshots are managed and deleted by Redshift. Double check if your is a manual snapshot. If it is indeed automatic snapshot and Redshift has NOT deleted it after the defined retention period then kindly open up a Support Ticket for further investigation.
