Is it possible to retrieve Flow context from RITMs, as Flow context get automatically deleted?

[AbdurRahmanSnow]

Good evening.
Is there anyway, we can retrieve back the Flow context from RITMs, as it automatically gets deleted/expired after 10-15 days? Also, how should we change the validity period? Can we increase the expiration date? Is there any system property?

Hi @AbdurRahmanSnow ,

You can still retrieve details about Flow executions mapped to a RITM using sys_flow_context, as long as the record hasn’t been automatically deleted yet. Once ServiceNow runs its cleanup or table rotation job on that Flow‑context, it is permanently removed with no undo...

This is done through the table cleaner, but be very carefully when you make adjustments. You should really ask yourself why you need to check on a flow that has run 2 weeks ago. If there were any issues, just recreate it and check what happens then. 
FYI: the link shared by Atul will provide more info and also warnings on why you shouldn't make changes.
