something keeps removing old history entries

[terminaldweller]

like the title says, something keeps removing older zsh history entries.
what i have set in my zshrc:

export HISTSIZE=50000
export SAVEHIST=50000
setopt APPEND_HISTORY
setopt EXTENDED_HISTORY
setopt HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS
setopt HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS
setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE
setopt HIST_NO_STORE
setopt HIST_REDUCE_BLANKS
setopt HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS
setopt HIST_EXPIRE_DUPS_FIRST
setopt HIST_SAVE_BY_COPY
setopt HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS
setopt HIST_VERIFY
setopt SHARE_HISTORY
setopt AUTO_CD
setopt AUTO_PUSHD
setopt NO_BEEP
setopt INTERACTIVE_COMMENTS
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
unsetopt FLOW_CONTROL
setopt LONG_LIST_JOBS
setopt +o nomatch
export HISTFILE=~/.zsh_history
setopt LIST_PACKED
setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY

any ideas what can do this?

Hello, I adjusted it like this:

An update was applied which caused this issue, I solved it by:
editing the file path=.oh-my-zsh/lib/history.zsh

and reverting the changes made in this commit: a8f7f9f

Nice @rafaelpagliari, it`s work for me. Tks

this, unfortunately is unrelated to my issue since I never was using history to check my history file contents. I was looking at the history file itself. Also, at the time of making this discussion thread, I did not have the mentioned bugfix.

The issue reported about using history and not showing all entries is now fixed.

@terminaldweller would be helpful to know specifically which entries are being deleted, especifically of note would be to know how many commands are in the history, since HISTSIZE and SAVEHIST will have an impact on that.

See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/273861/unlimited-history-in-zsh for more context on this, and https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Parameters.html for the reference of what those variables specify.

right now i have around 2374 entries. The oldest entries get removed. so the ones from the top of the hist file get removed.
also thanks for the links. I'll take a look at the links.

I think I figured it out.
I just ran omz update and lost about 500ish older history entries.
