Controlling Job Cleanup Time for Append Operations in ArcGIS Python API/REST API

Hi,

I'm using the append operation on a feature service layer (hosted) using either the ArcGIS REST API or the Python API. Example response from the ArcGIS REST API documentation: https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/USA/FeatureServer/0/append/jobs/b62e9db7-507c-443d-3473-8a1f7a7e9fac?f=json

When you use future=True with the Python API this will return a Future object. However, I'm finding the job is being cleaned up too quickly (around 3 minutes). So, when I go back to query the Future object it raises an exception.

I'm wondering is there a setting to control how long these jobs stay on the server? They don't seem to fall under either geoprocessing or administrative jobs which you can view through Server Manager.
