Rate Limits and Quotas
The following does not apply to customers running on the Superblocks On-Premise Agent (OPA).
For users on Superblocks Cloud, tier based service limits are in place to optimize product performance and stability. If you need higher service limits for your use case, please reach out to our support team to request a limit increase.
Time quotas
| Quota | Description | Plan Tier | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Trial | Pro | Enterprise | ||
| Application API duration | Duration of an API in an Application | 30 seconds | 5 minutes | 5 minutes | 5 minutes |
| Workflow duration | Duration of a Workflow | 30 seconds | 10 minutes | 10 minutes | 10 minutes |
| Scheduled Job duration | Duration of a Scheduled Job | 1 minute | 30 minutes | 30 minutes | 30 minutes |
| Language step duration | Duration of any language step (Python / JavaScript) in an Application, Workflow, or Scheduled Job) | 1 minute | 1 minute | 2 minutes | 2 minutes |
Size quotas
| Quota | Description | Plan Tier | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Trial | Pro | Enterprise | ||
| Step size* | Step output returned | 5 MB | 10 MB | 20 MB | 20 MB |
| Stream send size | Size of data sent to the client per message for streaming APIs | 500 kB | 500 kB | 1 MB | 2 MB |
| Parallel pool size | Number of paths that can be used in the Parallel block | 10 | 10 | 50 | 50 |
* The step size refers to an API step's output (return value + console logs). You can still process in excess of these limits within a language step as long as the data is not returned. Note, API steps return serialized JSON which is included in this limit.
Returning data from the Application backend to the frontend
The following applies only to organizations whose payload quota is set at > 10 MB.
When returning data from backend API steps to the Application frontend, it is recommended to keep it below 10MB for performance reasons. Returning more data could cause degraded performance for end-users. This may require the use of server-side pagination to limit the payload of the data.
Rate limits
API steps are rate limited. The throughput of steps cannot exceed the following limits.
