It depends on the value of *fileNamePattern*; if set for monthly rollover,
it's monthly.  If daily rollover, it's daily.  So "It's always the number of
elapsed periods."  and "Neither, it's the max number of files kept."
accurately answer your question.

You need to read the doc here:
" The optional maxHistory property controls the maximum number of archive
files to keep, deleting older files.* For example, if you specify monthly
rollover, and set maxHistory to 6, then 6 months worth of archives files
will be kept* with files older than 6 months deleted. Note as old archived
log files are removed, any folders which were created for the purpose of log
file archiving will be removed as appropriate. "
