An update on feedback policies
There is a new policy made for Feedback Hub to improve feedback relevance, so in the coming weeks the Feedback Hub will only retain and display the last 15 months worth feedback. And as Microsoft says this will not impact your Achievements, Quests, or Collections.
If you have feedback older than the retention period that you would like them to consider, please take a moment to create a new feedback item for it. Best practices for creating actionable feedback for the engineering team are available here if needed.
