Overview: Doc limits

Use this article as a starting place to learn about the various limits on Coda docs, depending on your pricing plan

Updated over a month ago

Depending on what pricing plan you’re subscribed to, you may have different limits that apply to your Coda docs. From API limits, to doc size limits, to attachment limits - it can be hard to keep track of it all. This article aims to be a high-level breakdown of the various limits that apply to your docs, depending on your Coda plan.

Within this article, you’ll find...


Doc size limits

  • Free plan:

    • Personal docs, or docs that aren’t shared with anyone, have no size limits

    • Shared docs (docs that are shared with anyone else) on the Free plan do have some size limits to keep in mind. These docs can have up to 50 objects (pages, tables, views, buttons, formulas) and up to 1000 table rows per doc. Learn more here.

  • Pro, Team, & Enterprise plans: no doc size limits 🎉

Attachment limits

There are two attachment limits to be aware of. Both limits are plan-dependent.

  • Per-doc attachment limits (the amount of total attachments in a doc):

    • Free plan: 1 GB per doc

    • Pro plan: 5 GB per doc

    • Team & Enterprise plans: Unlimited

  • Individual attachment limit (the size limit for any single attachment you might add to a doc):

    • Free plan: 10 MB per attachment

    • Pro, Team, & Enterprise plans: 250 MB per attachment

Version history limits

How far back you can go into your doc’s version history will depend on your plan type.

  • Free plan: 7 day history, doc level only

  • Pro plan: 30 day history, for pages and docs

  • Team & Enterprise plans: Unlimited history, for pages and docs

If you want to look further back into your doc history than your current plan allows, consider upgrading to a higher plan. This will automatically give you the ability to look further back into doc history, based on your new plan’s limits.

Automation limits

Different plans comes with different monthly automation quotas.

  • Free plan: 35 time-based and 100 event-based per month, per doc

  • Pro plan: 100 time-based and 500 event-based per month, per doc

  • Team & Enterprise plans: Unlimited automations per month, per doc

Note that event-based automations include “row changed,” “form submitted,” and “webhook invoked.”

Coda AI limits

Coda AI operates on a credit-based system. Every Doc Maker in your workspace is given a certain number of AI credits per month (depending on your plan type), and these credits are then pooled together into your workspace credits. Each time someone uses Coda AI, a certain amount of workspace credits are used up.

The number of Coda AI credits you receive per month are as follows:

  • Free plan: Some free credits

  • Pro plan: 2000 credits per Doc Maker, per month

  • Team plan: 6000 credits per Doc Maker, per month

  • Enterprise: 12000 credits per Doc Maker, per month

📣 Did you know you can also purchase additional AI credits for your workspace, if needed? Learn more here.

Cross-doc & Pack sync table limits

There are two types of Pack sync table limits to be aware of. These limits are plan-dependent.

  • Sync table row limits (the maximum number of rows possible per sync table does vary between Coda plans):

    • Free plan: max of 100 rows per sync table, including Cross-doc

    • Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans: max of 10,000 rows per Pack sync table, including Cross-doc

  • Pack refresh limits (the available options for refreshing Pack sync tables):

    • Free plan: Manual refresh only

    • Pro plan: Manual refresh & daily automatic refresh.

    • Team & Enterprise plans: Manual refresh, daily automatic refresh, & hourly automatic refresh.

API limits

Doc size limits for API

If docs become too large, they can reach a point where they can no longer be supported by the Coda API. On all plan types, docs with a size of 170MB* or more will no longer be accessible via the Coda API. This limitation is set to preserve the performance of our API, and we have observed it to affect only a very small percentage of API users. Learn more about managing your doc size here.

*Note that 170MB does not include file attachments.

API rate limits

API rate limits are not plan-dependent. The following limits apply to Free, Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans. Limits apply per-user across all endpoints that share the same limit and across all docs.

  • Reading data (with the exceptions below): 100 requests per 6 seconds

  • Writing data (POST/PUT/PATCH): 10 requests per 6 seconds

  • Writing doc content data (POST/PUT/PATCH): 3 requests per 10 seconds

  • Listing docs: 4 requests per 6 seconds

  • Reading analytics: 100 requests per 6 seconds

FAQs

What happens to my limits when I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

When upgrading, the new limits are effective immediately. For additional AI quota, customers can add more Doc Makers or purchase an AI credit package.


When a workspace is downgraded, any docs exceeding doc limits may have up to 14 days to downsize before they’ll become read only. Other paid features like Packs or hidden pages may be disabled. Coda will not delete any content from these docs.

Is there any way to increase any of the limits beyond what my current plan allows?

For most of the limits explained in this article, upgrading to a higher plan is the only way to increase doc limits.

The one exception is Coda AI. While you can gain access to addition Coda AI credits by upgrading, you can instead opt to purchase an a la carte AI credit package (without upgrading).

All other limits cannot be increased ad hoc.

Are attachments included in the overall doc size?

No - attachment size is not included in the overall doc size. For example, the 125MB doc size limit for API access does not include attachment size.
