    Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can answer your question about the time period that profiles will continue to qualify for the Retention report using the "On or After Each month" setting.According to the Mixpanel documentation on Retention, when using the "On or After" retention criteria:"On or After" Retention calculates the percentage of users who come back on a specific time unit (e.g. day, week, month) or any time unit afterward. A user can fulfill the "came back and did B criteria" on a specific time unit or any time in the future to be counted as retained in "On or After" Retention.This means that for "On or After Each month" retention:1. Profiles will continue to qualify for retention in all future months after they perform the initial action. 2. There is no specific end date or time limit for when a profile stops qualifying for retention. 3. Users are counted as retained if they perform the specified action in the given month or any month after that.This type of retention is useful for understanding how long you are holding onto your users in an absolute sense. It shows how many users used your app and then ever returned to find more value, regardless of how much time has passed since their initial action.It's worth noting that this is different from the "On" retention criteria, which only counts users who return exactly on the specified time interval.

    To answer your question about the difference between "cohortize" and "group by date" in Mixpanel, I'll need to refer to the relevant information from the knowledge sources provided.The Mixpanel documentation on Retention mentions the "Cohortize" option:There is a Cohortize option under the Advanced menu that, when enabled will show the last complete bucket for that retention trend. Metric charts are often used to look at the most up-to-date data value, which in this case, would be the last / most recently completed cell.However, the knowledge sources don't provide specific information about a "group by date" option in the context of Mixpanel's Retention report. Without more context or information about the "group by date" option, I can't make a direct comparison between the two. The knowledge sources don't contain enough information to fully answer your question about the difference between "cohortize" and "group by date".If you could provide more context about where you've seen the "group by date" option in Mixpanel, or if you have any additional questions about the "Cohortize" feature, I'd be happy to help further based on the information available in the knowledge sources.
