---------------------------------------

I'm currently referencing the latest logback 0.9.30 version and I'm not seeing my log history deleted correctly.

Possible configuration issue?

Here's my  log policy

<appender name="file" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <file>XXX.log</file>
        <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
            <!-- rollover daily -->
            <fileNamePattern>XXX-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.log</fileNamePattern>
			<MaxHistory>7</MaxHistory>
            <timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy
             class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
                <maxFileSize>5MB</maxFileSize>
				<MaxHistory>3</MaxHistory>
            </timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
        </rollingPolicy>
        <encoder class="CustomPatternLayoutEncoder">
            <pattern>[%p] [%d{ISO8601}] [%ip_address] [%user_id] [%c] [%m]%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>
