Guys! I can't find the option to set the date to save the history. Please help.

Worked well in the past but lately every time I actually need it (which is in emergencies), I find that the setting was changed automatically to delete everything on close instead of 7 days, which makes it not only useless but furiously annoying!! I just keep changing the settings and see how it reverts during emergencies. happened 3 times already. luckily I have other addons to as backup
