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 | 5 | 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 snapshots. Per-document size is rounded up to the nearest 1 KiB. |
| Bandwidth | 5 GiB/month | 50 GiB/month included $0.20 per additional GiB | Document and index data transferred between Convex functions and the underlying database. Per-document size is rounded up to the nearest 1 KiB. |
| 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.
- 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.
| Notes | ||
|---|---|---|
| Data read | 16 MiB | Each document read rounded up to 1 KiB. |
| Data written | 8 MiB | Each document write rounded up to 1 KiB. |
Environment Variables
Applied per-deployment.
| Number of variables | 100 |
| Maximum name length | 40 characters |
| Maximum value size | 8 KiB |
File Storage

|---|---|---|
| Storage | 1 GiB | 100 GiB included $0.03/month per additional GiB |
| Bandwidth | 1 GiB/month | 50 GiB/month included $0.30 per additional GiB |

Vector search
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) |

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.
