Service Limits

Soft Limits

Some soft limits are meant to protect other tenants in a multitenant system from a noisy neighbor. Some limits are meant to protect the system itself from an abuse. Default limits are opinionated and were designed to fit the majority of normal workflows. If any of these soft limits does not fit your particular workflow, please create a request with a desired value and a brief description of your use case. You can do this in Account Settings in the Console.
