# Limits

Every limit here reports itself rather than failing silently. These are the numbers to plan around.

## Every limit

| **Limit**                       | **Value**                                | **What happens**                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

Over the cap, multi-value answers are first truncated to their first 5 entries; then whole forms are dropped from the index; and if it still will not fit, the page is recorded as carrying no forms at all.

| CSV export cap                  | 5,000 pages                              | An export stops at 5,000 pages and gives no warning that it truncated. Pages are fetched 25 at a time.                                                                                                                                                               |
| Responses table page size       | 25 rows                                  | The per-form responses table pages 25 pages at a time using search cursors. Next/Previous and Refresh only - no jump-to-page.                                                                                                                                        |
| Standalone field autosave delay | 800 ms after the last change; "Saved" ti | Applies only to Input macros outside a Form container.                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| Save retry ceiling              | 5 attempts, backing off 250 ms, 500 ms,  | If the save cannot locate the macros in the page content it retries on that ladder and then gives up, surfacing as "Could not save form - try again".                                                                                                                |

## A few things worth knowing

* A limit that is reached is reported in the interface, not in a log you have to find.
* Limits are per site or per tenant depending on the limit. The table says which.
* Edition can change some of these.
