No, there’s nothing stored on the dongle, maybe a few minutes of cached RAM data (but I doubt it).

Insights Data unfortunately is averaged over time. The further back in time, the more it’s averaged out, removing interesting spikes and dips.  
AFAIK only the “last hour” data contains 5s datapoints.  
To save the most precise “last hour” data, you’d automatically export the dongle’s data to external storage, with the Archive Insights app for instance:

> [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Archive Insights - export all your Insights data to a NAS, FTP or web folder](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-archive-insights-export-all-your-insights-data-to-a-nas-ftp-or-web-folder/10976):
>
> Export Insights Make a backup of all your insights to your NAS, FTP or WebDAV compliant storage. The insights are zipped and stored in .csv format so you can open them in excel and create all kinds of statistics and charts. The export also includes a JSON version of the data. Backups can be easily scheduled by using the trigger card in a flow. You can schedule a full backup, or a backup per app. To setup enter the local share (NAS) information and/or the webDAV infor…

To be clear, that will be for “as of now” data.  
It’s impossible to download non-averaged data from older Insights data.
