Applies to [all plans](https://cube.dev/pricing). ## Limit types Each limit can be of one of the following types: * *Hard limit* either has a threshold that can't be exceeded or prevents further use of a resource when a threshhold is hit until a cool-down period passes (e.g., until the next day starts) or the limit is increased (e.g., when a Cube Cloud account upgrades to another tier). * *Soft limit* may allow further use of a resource after a threshold is hit. ## Resources The following resources are subject to limits, depending on [deployment types][ref-deployment-types] and [product tiers][ref-pricing]: | Resource | Free Tier | Starter | Premium | Enterprise | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-------: | :--------------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------: | | Number of deployments | 2 | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | | Number of API instances per deployment | 1 | 10 | 10 | [Contact us][cube-contact-us] | | Number of Cube Store workers per deployment | 2 | 16 | 16 | [Contact us][cube-contact-us] | | Queries per day for each [Shared deployment][ref-dev-instance] | 1,000 | 10,000 | Unlimited | Unlimited | | Queries per day for each [Dedicated deployment][ref-prod-cluster] | — | 50,000 | Unlimited | Unlimited | | [Query History][ref-query-history] — retention period | 1 day | Depends on the [tier][ref-query-history-tiers] | Depends on the [tier][ref-query-history-tiers] | Depends on the [tier][ref-query-history-tiers] | | [Query History][ref-query-history] — queries processed per day for each deployment | 1,000 | Depends on the [tier][ref-query-history-tiers] | Depends on the [tier][ref-query-history-tiers] | Depends on the [tier][ref-query-history-tiers] | | [Audit Log][ref-audit-log] — retention period | — | — | — | 30 days | | [Audit Log][ref-audit-log] — events collected | — | — | — | 10,000 | | [Monitoring Integrations][ref-monitoring-integrations] — exported data | — | — | — | Available as an [add-on][ref-monitoring-integrations] | ### Number of deployments This is a hard limit. Consider upgrading to [another tier][ref-pricing]. ### Number of API instances This is a hard limit. Consider upgrading to [another tier][ref-pricing]. ### Number of Cube Store workers This is a hard limit. Consider upgrading to [another tier][ref-pricing]. An option to use 32 Cube Store workers is subject to availability in select regions. Please [contact support][cube-contact-us] for more details. ### Queries per day This is a hard limit. Usage is calculated per Cube Cloud account, i.e., in total for all deployments within an account. When a threshold is hit, further queries will not be processed. In that case, consider upgrading a Shared deployment to a Dedicated deployment. Alternatively, consider upgrading to [another tier][ref-pricing]. ### Queries processed by Query History per day This is a soft limit. Usage is calculated per Cube Cloud account, i.e., in total for all deployments within an account. When a threshold is hit, query processing will be stopped. Please [contact support][cube-contact-us] for further assistance. ### Data retained by Query History This is a soft limit. Usage is calculated per Cube Cloud account, i.e., in total for all deployments within an account. ### Data collected and retained by Audit Log This is a hard limit. Usage is calculated per Cube Cloud account, i.e., in total for all deployments within an account. Please [contact support][cube-contact-us] for further assistance. ### Data exported via Monitoring Integrations This is a hard limit. Usage is calculated per Cube Cloud deployment. [Contact support][cube-contact-us] for higher quotas. ## Quotas The [REST (JSON)][ref-rest-api] and [GraphQL][ref-gql-api] APIs both have a standard quota of 100 requests per second per deployment; this can also go higher for short bursts of traffic. These limits can be raised on request, [contact support][cube-contact-us] for more details. When the quota is exceeded, the API will return a `429 Too Many Requests` response.
