Observations endpoint only has last week of data?

[sbrowngigster]

I'm trying to get temperature and precipitation across several stations for the last year. I'm getting Response 200 with empty feature list for any time period further back than one week. For instance, this returns empty feature list:
https://api.weather.gov/stations/KLAF/observations?start=2023-07-11T00:00:00Z&end=2023-07-12T00:00:00Z
While this returns the data:
https://api.weather.gov/stations/KLAF/observations?start=2023-07-19T00:00:00Z&end=2023-07-20T00:00:00Z
I saw the same thing across dozens of stations I tried. I'm trying to figure out if the problem is in on my end or the API itself.

Thanks

See #275

The API is not meant to be a repository for historical data.

Understood, thanks for taking the time to clarify.
