Issue
I need to upload events with older timestamps to Sentry and want to know the backdating limits.

Errors:
If the event timestamp is older than 30 days, Sentry will adjust it to the time of ingestion.
If you fall under this condition, Sentry will show the warning:
"Invalid timestamp (too old). Adjusted timestamps by a month."This indicates the timestamp has been modified to reflect the ingestion time.
Events with timestamps within 30 days of the current date will retain their original timestamps.
Transactions:
Transactions can only be uploaded with timestamps up to 5 days in the past. Older timestamps will not be retained.
Why the 30-Day Limit for Errors?
The 30-day or 5 day limit is independent of the project’s retention period and is a predefined threshold.
