We are migrating file storage and the application server to new infrastructure,
and applying a new 30-day retention policy to user-uploaded content.

What happens

  • From 03:00 UTC, uploaded files and images generated in chat that are more than 30 days old are permanently deleted. Profile pictures and agent skill files are not affected.
  • From approximately 05:00 UTC, chat.librechat.ai will be unavailable for around 75 minutes while storage and the server are migrated.
  • Normal service is expected to resume by 06:15 UTC.

Action required

If you want to keep files you uploaded more than 30 days ago, please download
them before 03:00 UTC on 7 September.

File storage moves to the European Union region. A rolling 30-day retention policy applies from this date onward.
