Account limits
Every MicroApps account has limits on how many of each resource it can create. They keep a runaway script or a compromised account from racking up a surprise bill, and they keep capacity fair across everyone on the platform.
What's capped
| Resource | What the limit caps |
|---|---|
| Pods | How many pods you can run at once |
| Domains | Custom domains you can add |
| Networks | Private networks you can create |
| Firewalls | Firewalls you can create |
| Email accounts | Mailboxes across all your domains |
| Snapshots per pod | In-place snapshots kept per pod |
| Backups per pod | Off-node backups kept per pod |
We deliberately don't publish exact numbers - they move around as we tune capacity, and they can differ per account. Your actual limits are shown in the console under Account Settings, and you can read them from the API at GET /api/user/account (the max* fields).
They're read-only
Limits are set by us, not by you. There is no self-service way to raise your own ceilings - the account update endpoint deliberately leaves them out - so nobody turns their own limits up by accident (or on purpose). That is on purpose.
Need more?
Contact support or open a support ticket from the console. We raise limits routinely for legitimate workloads - just tell us what you are building and roughly how much headroom you need.
Why we have them
- Stop runaway scripts from racking up bills.
- Catch compromised accounts early.
- Keep capacity fair across customers.
