My Photo Stream, 30 days or longer?

My Photo Stream includes pics since 10 September. I thought that My Photo Stream can save pics for 30 days only!

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9), 2.7GHz Intel Core i5

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.


The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
