I want to create a flow which repeat sometimes in a year. Is it possible to create that once and that this works for one or two years?

    Once an instance of a Flow starts to run, it will run for a maximum of 30 days.  

    Each time the recurrence trigger fires, it starts a new instance of the Flow.  That instance can run for a maximum of 30 days.  The next time the recurrence trigger fires (daily, weekly, etc . per your configuration), that instance can run for 30 days.

    The maximum recurrence interval for a recurrence trigger 500 days - in other words you can configure the trigger to run at intervals that you specify up to once every 500 days.

    Here is a link to the documentation.

     I read at some article, that Workflow instances are only stored for 30 days.

    What is meant by that?
