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.
