What happens to events in the thaweddb once they are unfrozen?

They are deleted.
They become non-searchable.
They count against the license.
They become temporary events.

The correct answer is: They count against the license.

When events in the thaweddb are unfrozen, they become searchable again and subsequently count against the Splunk license. The thaweddb is essentially the repository of archived data that has been previously frozen to conserve storage and manage licensing limits. Once the data is unfrozen, it is reintroduced into the index, making it accessible for search and analysis. It's important to note that while the events become searchable and licensed, they do not become temporary events, nor are they deleted or made non-searchable. Instead, they retain their status as full, persistent events within Splunk, now counting against the overall volume of data indexed, which is critical for license management.
