Activity Log history by plan

The Activity Log is available on all Jetpack sites. The length of event history visible in your log depends on your plan:

For the Jetpack Complete plan, a maximum of 1,000 events shows in the feed. You can filter the events by date range and activity type, and the feed shows up to 1,000 events from that filtered range.
