Turning Logging Off in AI Studio Also Turns Off Interactions API Conversation History
When no Gemini API logs show up in AI Studio, the usual culprit is the store default, which is inverted between the two APIs. Here is the side effect that quietly stops conversation history, and how to set store per request so it never surprises you.
I stopped storing every generation log — three retention tiers and a prompt fingerprint that keeps traceability
I was storing every Gemini API request and response body for debugging. Here is how I moved to three retention tiers plus a prompt fingerprint, and kept the ability to diagnose issues without keeping the text.
