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.
