Being fairly new to Freshservice (we moved over in 2021), we were excited to finally reach a point where our “year-over-year” reporting is actually able to show trends such as what time of year we seeing upticks in ticket count, upticks in new hires, etc. Up to now we’ve had to manually pull numbers into Excel to combine our old system counts with Freshservice since it’s hard to know a trend from a spike with less than 2 years of data!

Now the FUP program has been announced that will require us to restrict our reporting to no more than a 2 year period!  So we’re going back to the same boat of having to manually pull data to Excel for reporting :(  

I can appreciate the concerns prompting FUP but it feels like there should be a way to permit an exception.  Possible workbooks that have only a single page or are limited to the number of widgets?  We don’t need to see most of our analytics back further than 1-2 years but there are a few instances where that extended trend is really important.

For now I guess you need 2 reports 0 - 2 and 2 - 4 year.

“For now I guess you need 2 reports 0 - 2 and 2 - 4 year. ”

I don’t think that is sustainable and I hope that’s not what Freshworks expects users to do as the final solution.

Perhaps focus on improving your Analytics platform to be more performant or move it to a platform like Tableau or Power BI.

I agree that this FUP is not sustainable.  We have tickets that are older than 2 years which we are still working on and we regularly report to the executives on the status of aging tickets.  It is disappointing that Fresh has decided that anything older than 2 years should just be ignored and not reported on.

I am struggling to trust Fresh reporting with this limitation and to create new reports for 0-2 and 2-4 years is not a viable option.

@kpatterson, ​@Daniel Söderlund, ​@repatterson, ​@ronekzus The usage limits for Freshservice analytics have been revised and as per this revision, there’s no limit on the time period that you can report for, for Growth, Pro, and Enterprise plans. However, all reports must carry a date range. The value for the date range can be anything, even more than 2 years or unlimited. Please see this solution article for more details: Analytics usage limits in Freshservice.

@Daniel Söderlund This is implemented in Freshservice. Here’s the link for the November, 2025 release notes for Freshservice that talks about the usage limits.

I found it it. Didn’t say FUP so I missed it the first time.
