Data from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is retained for 180 days, visible across the portal. However, in the advanced hunting investigation experience, it's accessible via a query for a period of 30 days. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/data-storage-privacy?view=o365-worldwide#how-long-will-microsoft-store-my-data-what-is-microsofts-data-retention-policy

I re-confirm in defender portal that action center is 6 months. Defender-->Actions&Submitions-->Action Center--> History tab--> Select the time to see and export. the issue with this question is that Microsoft upgrade the service from 3 months to 6 months few months ago and exist the risk that this answer is now updated to 6 months, so, it is a risk either to choose 3 months or 6 months because we don't know if this is updated or not.

"Alerts are displayed in the portal for 90 days, even if the resource related to the alert was deleted during that time. This is because the alert might indicate a potential breach to your organization that needs to be further investigated." - from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-cloud/alerts-overview
