Limits

We’d love for you to have unlimited joy building on Convex but engineering practicalities dictate a few limits. This page outlines current limits in the Convex ecosystem.

Many of these limits will become more permissive over time. Please get in touch if any are prohibitive for your application.

Limits are applied per team unless stated otherwise.

Team

	Starter	Professional
Developers	1-2	1-20 $25/member per month
Projects	20	100

Database

	Starter	Professional	Notes
Storage	0.5 GiB	50 GiB included $0.20/month per additional GiB	Includes database rows and indexes but not files or backups.
Bandwidth	1 GiB/month	50 GiB/month included $0.20 per additional GiB	Document and index data transferred between Convex functions and the underlying database.
Tables	10,000	10,000	Per deployment.
Indexes per table	32	32
Fields per index	16	16
Index name length	64 characters	64 characters

Restrictions

• Table and index names must be valid identifiers and cannot start with an underscore.

Documents

Applied per document and to any nested Object unless stated otherwise.

		Notes
Size	1 MiB
Fields	1024	The number of fields/keys
Field name length	64 characters	Nested Object keys can have length up to 1024 characters.
Field nesting depth	16	How many times objects and arrays can be nested, e.g. [[[[]]]]
Array elements	8192

Restrictions

• Field names must only contain non-control alphanumeric ASCII characters and underscores and must start with an alphabetic character or underscore.
• Documents cannot contain top-level fields that start with an underscore, other than the system-provided _id and _creationTime fields.
• Strings must be valid Unicode sequences with no unpaired surrogates.

Functions

	Starter	Professional	Notes
Function calls	1,000,000/month	25,000,000/month included $2 per additional 1,000,000	Explicit client calls, scheduled executions, subscription updates, and file accesses count as function calls.
Action execution	20 GiB-hours	250 GiB-hours included $0.30/GiB-hour additional	Convex runtime: 64 MiB RAM. Node.js runtime: 512 MiB RAM.
Code size	32 MiB	32 MiB	Per deployment.
Function argument size	8 MiB	8 MiB
Function return value size	8 MiB	8 MiB
HTTP action response size	20 MiB	20 MiB	There is no specific limit on request size
Number of documents scanned in a query	16384	16384	Documents not returned due to a filter count as scanned
Number of documents written in a mutation	8192	8192
Length of a console.log line	4 KiB	4 KiB
Log streaming limits	4096 logs, flushed every 10 seconds	4096 logs, flushed every 10 seconds	How many logs can be buffered when streaming

Execution time and scheduling

		Notes
Query/mutation execution time	1 second	Limit applies only to user code and doesn’t include database operations.
Action execution time	10 minutes
Scheduled functions	1000	The number of other functions a single mutation can schedule.
Total size of scheduled functions' arguments	8 MiB	Applies only to mutations.
Concurrent IO operations per function	1000	The number of IO operations a single function can perform, e.g., a database operation, or a fetch request in an action.
Outstanding scheduled functions	1,000,000

Transactions

These limits apply to each query or mutation function.

Data read	8 MiB
Data written	8 MiB

Environment Variables

Applied per-deployment.

Number of variables	100
Maximum name length	40 characters
Maximum value size	8 KiB

File Storage

	Starter	Professional	Notes
Storage	1 GiB	100 GiB included $0.03/month per additional GiB	Includes user files and backups.
Bandwidth	1 GiB/month	50 GiB/month included $0.30 per additional GiB	Includes serving user files, accessing user files inside functions, and generating and restoring backups.

Vector search

Vector search is in beta

Vector search is currently a beta feature. If you have feedback or feature requests, let us know on Discord!

	Value
Vector indexes per table	4
Filters per vector index	16
Terms per search query	16
Vectors to search by	1
Dimension fields	1 (value between 2-4096)
Filters per search query	64

If any of these limits don't work for you, let us know!

Please see our plans and pricing page for resource limits. After these limits are hit on a free plan, new mutations that attempt to commit more insertions or updates may fail. Paid plans have no hard resource limits - they can scale to billions of documents and TBs of storage.
