How many PDUs are required for PMP Renewal

Good morning.  Apologies if this question has been asked before.  My PMI dashboard indicates that only 35 Education PDUs are required for me to renew my PMP certification, with at least 8 in each leg of the triangle.  Yet, I am seeing information that states I need 60 PDUs.  Which is it?  35 or 60?

Gerald -

You need to earn 60 PDUs each 3 year renewal cycle for the PMP certification but those can be earned through a combination of Education (minimum 35) and Giving Back (up to 25).

So, you could earn all 60 PDUs from eligible education activities or you can earn up to 25 in the giving back category through activities such as volunteering for a Chapter, working in the profession or reviewing a pre-publication PMI standard.

"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
