Technical Limits

We enforce technical limits to ensure the shared-service infrastructure functions without interruption. Only use Contentful software and services if you agree with the technical limits outlined below. These limits apply solely to current plans, while legacy plans are subject to legacy technical limits.

For an in-depth explanation of each plan, see our pricing page or your Service Order.

Important: Where plan or space entitlements are less than technical limits, you are subject to your plan or space entitlement limits.

Technical limits are cumulative. If you require higher limits, consider upgrading to a different plan, which comes with higher default limits. Plans using our dedicated infrastructure feature also offer the ability to customize the API call rate limits for your organization.

For more information about higher plan limits, contact your Sales representative.

If your service usage exceeds the preceding limits, we reserve the right to take corrective action, including but not limited to the throttling of the service API, temporarily suspending or (when other options are unavailable) terminating your account.

Regardless of the pricing plan, we reserve the right to take corrective action, including but not limited to the throttling of the service API for short periods, when the stability of the system is at risk.
