90 days, easy. Although I do wonder if the audit logs are stored in the cloud or on a hamster running on a wheel. Either way, it's the right answer.

15 days? That's barely enough time to catch a typo, let alone any real user activity. Might as well just use a crystal ball.

Basic Audit? What is that, some kind of secret audit mode? I'll just go with 30 days, sounds reasonable.
