> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/296625) in GitLab 14.2.

It schedules for deletion multiple environments that have already been
[stopped](../ci/environments/index.md#stop-an-environment) and
are [in the review app folder](../ci/review_apps/index.md).
The actual deletion is performed after 1 week from the time of execution.

| --------- | ------- | -------- | --------------------- |

| `before`    | datetime | no | The date before which environments can be deleted. Defaults to 30 days ago. Expected in ISO 8601 format (`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ`). |
| `limit`     | integer | no | Maximum number of environments to delete. Defaults to 100. |
