Platform limits and quotas, with sources
Daily sending caps, API rate limits, execution time limits, cell and row ceilings: the numbers that decide whether an automation finishes. Every value is quoted with its plan and linked to the page it came from.
Limits by platform
Four kinds of limit, four different fixes
- Rate limits cap how fast you call. They belong in a paced queue with back-off, not in a tight retry loop.
- Quotas cap how much you do per day or month. Spread the work out or move to the plan with the documented higher ceiling.
- Execution limits cap how long one run may take. Split the job into smaller runs that each finish in time.
- Size and count caps are validation errors waiting to happen. Check them before anything is sent; retrying never helps.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as a limit here?
Anything a platform will refuse or throttle: rate limits and daily quotas, execution time caps, size and count limits such as cells per spreadsheet or attachment size, and plan-specific ceilings. Each row quotes the documented value, names the plan or edition it applies to, and links the official page it came from.
Why does my number differ from the one listed?
Limits often depend on the plan, edition, account age or region, and some are enforced per user while others are per project or per domain. These pages give each documented value with the plan it belongs to. If your provider or admin sets a lower ceiling, the lower one is the one that applies to you.
How current are these values?
Every page shows the date its values were last checked against the official documentation. Vendors do change quotas, sometimes without announcement, so treat that date as part of the data and open the linked source before you rely on a number for a contract, a budget or a launch.
What happens when I hit a limit?
It depends on the kind of limit. Rate limits usually return a retryable error such as HTTP 429 and clear after a wait. Daily quotas reset on a schedule, often 24 hours after the first call. Size and count limits return a validation error that retrying never fixes. Each page describes the literal message and how long it lasts.
Can I get a limit raised?
Sometimes. Some vendors raise quotas on a paid plan or on request through their console; others are fixed for everyone. The workaround sections on each page list only legitimate options: spreading the work out, batching requests, moving to a plan with a higher documented ceiling, or using the vendor's bulk API. Evading a platform's rules is never one of them.
Do these limits apply when I automate with Autonoly?
Yes. A platform's limits apply to every client that calls it, Autonoly included. What a workflow adds is control over pacing: runs on a schedule or a trigger, retries with timeouts on each step, and error branches when a call is refused. Autonoly also has limits of its own, which the pricing page lists.
Pace the work instead of tripping the limit
Autonoly workflows run on a schedule or a trigger with per-step retries and timeouts, so a job can be spread out and retried rather than fired in one burst. Platform limits still apply in full.
