Hi, I have been trying to find some info around setting sharelink expiration for both onedrive and SPO Is there a default amount of days Is there a maximum amount of days supported by SPO/Onedrive if expiration is not turned ON Where can we set the default amount of days If we change the default tenant level expiration (days) does that apply retrospectively to all the existing sharelinks? Thanks in advance G

Only anonymous ("everyone") sharing links can be configured to expire, and by default they are valid indefinitely. The maximum value is 2 years (730 days), and yes, they apply retroactively. Details are here: https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/sharepoint/turn-external-sharing-on-or-off?WT.mc_id=365AdminCSH_spo#advanced-settings-for-anyone-links

Thanks @Vasil Michev
So indefinitely is maximum 2 years?
Would setting "Guest access to site or OneDrive will expire automatically after this many days: 60" retroactively apply to all existing guest/copy links?

No, that setting does not apply retroactively, as detailed for example here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/manage-guest-expiration-for-a-site-25bee24f-42ad-4ee8-8402-4186eed74dea
