Limits and usage
Understand plan-based limits, bounded queries, result caps, and safe retry behavior.
Limits and usage
Limits protect source systems, platform capacity, and organization budgets.
Types of limits
An organization may encounter plan-based resource allowances, request rates, concurrent work limits, query timeouts, row or payload caps, indexing quotas, and connector-specific upstream limits.
Current plan values belong in Plan and Billing, not in application code or static documentation.
Client behavior
- Treat validation and permission failures as final until inputs change.
- Retry transient and rate failures only when instructed, using jittered backoff.
- Do not retry long-running requests in parallel.
- Narrow the time range, fields, or grouping when a result is too large.
- Preserve request IDs for support.
Capacity planning
Monitor representative workflows, automation schedules, source load, and growth in indexed objects. Contact [email protected] when the operating model needs different capacity or controls.
