Guard Detect appears to cap the number of visible alerts at approximately 5,000, preventing administrators from viewing older Guard alerts once the limit is reached.

Older alerts are not accessible through the Guard UI, and there is no indication of retention behavior, archival, or alternate access method.

This limitation was not previously known or documented and presents challenges for historical analysis, audit readiness, and reporting.

• There is no mention in Atlassian support docs of:

• • A maximum of 5,000 alerts visible in the UI, or

• • Any hard limit on the number of alerts that can be browsed, beyond the 180‑day retention window.
