I wonder if restore points getting deleted may have something to do with the new Point In Time recovery points. TBH, I have point in time disabled and don't really understand it. I was under the assumption that the disk space alloted to system restore and that used by PIT was different but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone who understand PIT can clarify if that could be the case.

Change Restore Point Retention for Point-in-time Restore in Windows 11
This tutorial will show you how to change how long restore points can exist on the system before they are automatically deleted for point-in-time restore in Windows 11. Starting with Windows 11 build 26100.8737 (24H2), build 26200.8737 (25H2), and build 28000.2340 (26H1), Microsoft introduced...www.elevenforum.com
i have PITR enabled and it looks like its using the same storage space as the older system restore
if you change how much space you want reserved in PITR then the space changes to the same amount in system restore
according to the settings in both system restore and PITR.
i also beleive the PITR overwrites the system restore saved points. PITR, if enabled, seems to take precedence over system restore, but am not yet certain if that is the case.
best of luck Steve ..
