Every API request builds an on-disk context cache, on for all users, cleared 'usually within a few hours to a few days' once unused. Other retention is 'as long as necessary' per the privacy policy; no API log period is published.
Once the cache is no longer in use, it will be automatically cleared, usually within a few hours to a few days.
No fixed period stated, so this tool isn't plotted on the retention chart.
No ZDR option found. Disk context caching is enabled by default for all users and no way to turn it off is documented.

DeepSeek publishes model weights on Hugging Face (e.g. DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 at time of check), so you can run them yourself without using the API.
