# GitLab application limits
|
|
|
|
GitLab, like most large applications, enforces limits within certain features to maintain a
|
|
minimum quality of performance. Allowing some features to be limitless could affect security,
|
|
performance, data, or could even exhaust the allocated resources for the application.
|
|
|
|
## Rate limits
|
|
|
|
Rate limits can be used to improve the security and durability of GitLab.
|
|
|
|
For example, one script can make thousands of web requests per second. Whether malicious, apathetic, or just a bug, your application and infrastructure may not be able to cope with the load. Rate limits can help to mitigate these types of attacks.
|
|
|
|
Read more about [configuring rate limits](../security/rate_limits.md) in the Security documentation.

|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
'/users/password',
|
|
'/users/sign_in',
|
|
'/api/#{API::API.version}/session.json',
|
|
'/api/#{API::API.version}/session',
|
|
'/users',
|
|
'/users/confirmation',
|
|
'/unsubscribes/',
|
|
'/import/github/personal_access_token',
|
|
'/admin/session'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

### Rack attack
|
|
|
|
This method of rate limiting is cumbersome, but has some advantages. It allows
|
|
throttling of specific paths, and is also integrated into Git and container
|
|
registry requests.
|
|
|
|

|
Limit the number of times any given webhook can be called per minute.
|
|
This only applies to project and group webhooks.
|
|
|
|
Calls over the rate limit are logged into `auth.log`.
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# If limits don't exist for the default plan, you can create one with:
|
|
# Plan.default.create_limits!
|
|
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(web_hook_calls: 10)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set the limit to `0` to disable it.
|
|
|
|
- **Default rate limit**: Disabled.
|
|
|
|
#### Enable or disable rate limiting for webhooks **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
Rate limiting for webhooks is under development and not ready for production use. It is
|
|
deployed behind a feature flag that is **disabled by default**.
|
|
[GitLab administrators with access to the GitLab Rails console](../administration/feature_flags.md)
|
|
can enable it.
|
|
|
|
To enable it:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Feature.enable(:web_hooks_rate_limit)
|
|
```

## Gitaly concurrency limit
|
|
|
|
Clone traffic can put a large strain on your Gitaly service. To prevent such workloads from overwhelming your Gitaly server, you can set concurrency limits in Gitaly's configuration file.
|
|
|
|

## Number of comments per issue, merge request, or commit
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/22388) in GitLab 12.4.
|
|
|
|
There's a limit to the number of comments that can be submitted on an issue,
|
|
merge request, or commit. When the limit is reached, system notes can still be
|
|
added so that the history of events is not lost, but user-submitted comments
|
|
will fail.
|
|
|
|
- **Max limit**: 5,000 comments.
|
|
|
|
## Size of comments and descriptions of issues, merge requests, and epics
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/61974) in GitLab 12.2.
|
|
|
|
There is a limit to the size of comments and descriptions of issues, merge requests, and epics.
|
|
Attempting to add a body of text larger than the limit will result in an error, and the
|
|
item will not be created.
|
|
|
|
It's possible that this limit will be changed to a lower number in the future.
|
|
|
|
- **Max size**: ~1 million characters / ~1 MB.
|
|
|
|
## Size of commit titles and descriptions
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/292039) in GitLab 13.9
|
|
|
|
Commits with arbitrarily large messages may be pushed to GitLab, but when
|
|
displaying commits, titles (the first line of the commit message) will be
|
|
limited to 1KiB, and descriptions (the rest of the message) will be limited to
|
|
1MiB.
|
|
|
|
## Number of issues in the milestone overview
|
|
|
|
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/39453) in GitLab 12.10.
|
|
> - [Set](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/58168) to 500 in GitLab 13.11.
|
|
|
|
The maximum number of issues loaded on the milestone overview page is 500.
|
|
When the number exceeds the limit the page displays an alert and links to a paginated
|
|
[issue list](../user/project/issues/managing_issues.md) of all issues in the milestone.
|
|
|
|
- **Limit**: 500 issues.
|
|
|
|
## Number of pipelines per Git push
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/51401) in GitLab 11.10.
|
|
|
|
The number of pipelines that can be created in a single push is 4.
|
|
This is to prevent the accidental creation of pipelines when `git push --all`
|
|
or `git push --mirror` is used.
|
|
|
|
Read more in the [CI documentation](../ci/yaml/README.md#processing-git-pushes).
|
|
|
|
## Retention of activity history
|
|
|
|
Activity history for projects and individuals' profiles was limited to one year until [GitLab 11.4](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/52246) when it was extended to two years, and in [GitLab 12.4](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/33840) to three years.
|
|
|
|
## Number of embedded metrics
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/14939) in GitLab 12.7.
|
|
|
|
There is a limit when embedding metrics in GFM for performance reasons.
|
|
|
|
- **Max limit**: 100 embeds.
|
|
|
|
## Number of webhooks
|
|
|
|
On GitLab.com, the [maximum number of webhooks and their size](../user/gitlab_com/index.md#webhooks) per project, and per group, is limited.
|
|
|
|
To set this limit for a self-managed installation, where the default is `100` project webhooks and `50` group webhooks, run the following in the
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# If limits don't exist for the default plan, you can create one with:
|
|
# Plan.default.create_limits!
|
|
|
|
# For project webhooks
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(project_hooks: 200)
|
|
|
|
# For group webhooks
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(group_hooks: 100)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set the limit to `0` to disable it.
|
|
|
|
## Pull Mirroring Interval
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/237891) in GitLab 13.7.
|
|
|
|
The [minimum time between pull refreshes](../user/project/repository/repository_mirroring.md)
|
|
defaults to 300 seconds (5 minutes).
|
|
|
|
To change this limit for a self-managed installation, run the following in the
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# If limits don't exist for the default plan, you can create one with:
|
|
# Plan.default.create_limits!
|
|
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(pull_mirror_interval_seconds: 200)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Incoming emails from auto-responders
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30327) in GitLab 12.4.
|
|
|
|
GitLab ignores all incoming emails sent from auto-responders by looking for the `X-Autoreply`
|
|
header. Such emails don't create comments on issues or merge requests.
|
|
|
|
## Amount of data sent from Sentry through Error Tracking
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/14926) in GitLab 12.6.
|
|
|
|
Sentry payloads sent to GitLab have a 1 MB maximum limit, both for security reasons
|
|
and to limit memory consumption.
|
|
|
|
## Max offset allowed by the REST API for offset-based pagination
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/34565) in GitLab 13.0.
|
|
|
|
When using offset-based pagination in the REST API, there is a limit to the maximum
|
|
requested offset into the set of results. This limit is only applied to endpoints that
|
|
support keyset-based pagination. More information about pagination options can be
|
|
found in the [API docs section on pagination](../api/README.md#pagination).
|
|
|
|
To set this limit for a self-managed installation, run the following in the
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# If limits don't exist for the default plan, you can create one with:
|
|
# Plan.default.create_limits!
|
|
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(offset_pagination_limit: 10000)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **Default offset pagination limit**: `50000`.
|
|
|
|
Set the limit to `0` to disable it.
|
|
|
|
## CI/CD limits
|
|
|
|
### Number of jobs in active pipelines
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32823) in GitLab 12.6.
|
|
|
|
The total number of jobs in active pipelines can be limited per project. This limit is checked
|
|
each time a new pipeline is created. An active pipeline is any pipeline in one of the following states:
|
|
|
|
- `created`
|
|
- `pending`
|
|
- `running`
|
|
|
|
If a new pipeline would cause the total number of jobs to exceed the limit, the pipeline
|
|
will fail with a `job_activity_limit_exceeded` error.
|
|
|
|
- GitLab SaaS subscribers have different limits [defined per plan](../user/gitlab_com/index.md#gitlab-cicd),
|
|
and they affect all projects under that plan.
|
|
- On [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) self-managed or
|
|
higher installations, this limit is defined under a `default` plan that affects all
|
|
projects. This limit is disabled (`0`) by default.
|
|
|
|
To set this limit for a self-managed installation, run the following in the
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# If limits don't exist for the default plan, you can create one with:
|
|
# Plan.default.create_limits!
|
|
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(ci_active_jobs: 500)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set the limit to `0` to disable it.
|
|
|
|
### Maximum number of deployment jobs in a pipeline
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/46931) in GitLab 13.7.
|
|
|
|
You can limit the maximum number of deployment jobs in a pipeline. A deployment is
|
|
any job with an [`environment`](../ci/environments/index.md) specified. The number
|
|
of deployments in a pipeline is checked at pipeline creation. Pipelines that have
|
|
too many deployments fail with a `deployments_limit_exceeded` error.
|
|
|
|
The default limit is 500 for all [GitLab self-managed and SaaS plans](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).
|
|
|
|
To change the limit for a self-managed installation, change the `default` plan's limit with the following
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session) command:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# If limits don't exist for the default plan, you can create one with:
|
|
# Plan.default.create_limits!
|
|
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(ci_pipeline_deployments: 500)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set the limit to `0` to disable it.
|
|
|
|
### Number of CI/CD subscriptions to a project
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/9045) in GitLab 12.9.
|
|
|
|
The total number of subscriptions can be limited per project. This limit is
|
|
checked each time a new subscription is created.
|
|
|
|
If a new subscription would cause the total number of subscription to exceed the
|
|
limit, the subscription will be considered invalid.
|
|
|
|
- GitLab SaaS subscribers have different limits [defined per plan](../user/gitlab_com/index.md#gitlab-cicd),
|
|
and they affect all projects under that plan.
|
|
- On [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) self-managed
|
|
or higher installations, this limit is defined under a `default` plan that
|
|
affects all projects. By default, there is a limit of `2` subscriptions.
|
|
|
|
To set this limit for a self-managed installation, run the following in the
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(ci_project_subscriptions: 500)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set the limit to `0` to disable it.
|
|
|
|
### Number of pipeline schedules
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/29566) in GitLab 12.10.
|
|
|
|
The total number of pipeline schedules can be limited per project. This limit is
|
|
checked each time a new pipeline schedule is created. If a new pipeline schedule
|
|
would cause the total number of pipeline schedules to exceed the limit, the
|
|
pipeline schedule will not be created.
|
|
|
|
GitLab SaaS subscribers have different limits [defined per plan](../user/gitlab_com/index.md#gitlab-cicd),
|
|
and they affect all projects under that plan.
|
|
|
|
On [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) self-managed or
|
|
higher installations, this limit is defined under a `default` plan that affects all
|
|
projects. By default, there is a limit of `10` pipeline schedules.
|
|
|
|
To set this limit for a self-managed installation, run the following in the
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(ci_pipeline_schedules: 100)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Number of instance level variables
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216097) in GitLab 13.1.
|
|
|
|
The total number of instance level CI/CD variables is limited at the instance level.
|
|
This limit is checked each time a new instance level variable is created. If a new variable
|
|
would cause the total number of variables to exceed the limit, the new variable will not be created.
|
|
|
|
On self-managed instances this limit is defined for the `default` plan. By default,
|
|
this limit is set to `25`.
|
|
|
|
To update this limit to a new value on a self-managed installation, run the following in the
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(ci_instance_level_variables: 30)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Maximum file size per type of artifact
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/37226) in GitLab 13.3.
|
|
|
|
Job artifacts defined with [`artifacts:reports`](../ci/yaml/README.md#artifactsreports)
|
|
that are uploaded by the runner are rejected if the file size exceeds the maximum
|
|
file size limit. The limit is determined by comparing the project's
|
|
[maximum artifact size setting](../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#maximum-artifacts-size)
|
|
with the instance limit for the given artifact type, and choosing the smaller value.
|
|
|
|
Limits are set in megabytes, so the smallest possible value that can be defined is `1 MB`.
|
|
|
|
Each type of artifact has a size limit that can be set. A default of `0` means there
|
|
is no limit for that specific artifact type, and the project's maximum artifact size
|
|
setting is used:
|
|
|
|
| Artifact limit name | Default value |

For example, to set the `ci_max_artifact_size_junit` limit to 10 MB on a self-managed
|
|
installation, run the following in the [GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|

### Number of registered runners per scope
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/321368) in GitLab 13.12.
|
|
|
|
The total number of registered runners is limited at the group and project
|
|
levels. Each time a new runner is registered, GitLab checks these limits. A
|
|
runner's registration fails if it exceeds the limit for the scope determined by
|
|
the runner registration token.
|
|
|
|
- GitLab SaaS subscribers have different limits defined per plan, affecting all projects using that plan.
|
|
- Self-managed GitLab Premium and Ultimate limits are defined by a default plan that affects all projects:
|
|
|
|
| Runner scope | Default value |
|
|
|---------------------------------------------|---------------|
|
|
| `ci_registered_group_runners` | 1000 |
|
|
| `ci_registered_project_runners` | 1000 |
|
|
|
|
To update these limits, run the following in the
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# Use ci_registered_group_runners or ci_registered_project_runners
|
|
# depending on desired scope
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(ci_registered_project_runners: 100)
|
|
```
|

|
## Instance monitoring and metrics
|
|
|
|
### Incident Management inbound alert limits
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/17859) in GitLab 12.5.
|
|
|
|
Limiting inbound alerts for an incident reduces the number of alerts (issues)
|
|
that can be created within a period of time, which can help prevent overloading
|
|
your incident responders with duplicate issues. You can reduce the volume of
|
|
alerts in the following ways:
|
|
|
|
- Max requests per period per project, 3600 seconds by default.
|
|
- Rate limit period in seconds, 3600 seconds by default.
|
|
|
|
### Prometheus Alert JSON payloads
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/19940) in GitLab 12.6.
|
|
|
|
Prometheus alert payloads sent to the `notify.json` endpoint are limited to 1 MB in size.
|
|
|
|
### Generic Alert JSON payloads
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/16441) in GitLab 12.4.
|
|
|
|
Alert payloads sent to the `notify.json` endpoint are limited to 1 MB in size.
|
|
|
|
### Metrics dashboard YAML files
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/34834) in GitLab 13.2.
|
|
|
|
The memory occupied by a parsed metrics dashboard YAML file cannot exceed 1 MB.
|
|
|
|
The maximum depth of each YAML file is limited to 100. The maximum depth of a YAML
|
|
file is the amount of nesting of its most nested key. Each hash and array on the
|
|
path of the most nested key counts towards its depth. For example, the depth of the
|
|
most nested key in the following YAML is 7:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dashboard: 'Test dashboard'
|
|
links:
|
|
- title: Link 1
|
|
url: https://gitlab.com
|
|
panel_groups:
|
|
- group: Group A
|
|
priority: 1
|
|
panels:
|
|
- title: "Super Chart A1"
|
|
type: "area-chart"
|
|
y_label: "y_label"
|
|
weight: 1
|
|
max_value: 1
|
|
metrics:
|
|
- id: metric_a1
|
|
query_range: 'query'
|
|
unit: unit
|
|
label: Legend Label
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Environment Dashboard limits **(PREMIUM)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/33895) in GitLab 13.4.
|
|
|
|
See [Environment Dashboard](../ci/environments/environments_dashboard.md#adding-a-project-to-the-dashboard) for the maximum number of displayed projects.
|
|
|
|
## Environment data on Deploy Boards
|
|
|
|
[Deploy Boards](../user/project/deploy_boards.md) load information from Kubernetes about
|
|
Pods and Deployments. However, data over 10 MB for a certain environment read from
|
|
Kubernetes won't be shown.
|
|
|
|
## Merge request reports
|
|
|
|
Reports that go over the 20 MB limit won't be loaded. Affected reports:
|
|
|
|
- [Merge request security reports](../user/project/merge_requests/testing_and_reports_in_merge_requests.md#security-reports)
|
|
- [CI/CD parameter `artifacts:expose_as`](../ci/yaml/README.md#artifactsexpose_as)
|
|
- [Unit test reports](../ci/unit_test_reports.md)
|
|
|
|
## Advanced Search limits
|
|
|
|
### Maximum file size indexed
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/8638) in GitLab 13.3.
|
|
|
|
You can set a limit on the content of repository files that are indexed in
|
|
Elasticsearch. Any files larger than this limit will not be indexed, and thus
|
|
will not be searchable.
|
|
|
|
Setting a limit helps reduce the memory usage of the indexing processes and
|
|
the overall index size. This value defaults to `1024 KiB` (1 MiB) as any
|
|
text files larger than this likely aren't meant to be read by humans.
|
|
|
|
You must set a limit, as unlimited file sizes aren't supported. Setting this
|
|
value to be greater than the amount of memory on GitLab Sidekiq nodes causes
|
|
the GitLab Sidekiq nodes to run out of memory, as they will pre-allocate this
|
|
amount of memory during indexing.
|
|
|
|
### Maximum field length
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/201826) in GitLab 12.8.
|
|
|
|
You can set a limit on the content of text fields indexed for Advanced Search.
|
|
Setting a maximum helps to reduce the load of the indexing processes. If any
|
|
text field exceeds this limit then the text will be truncated to this number of
|
|
characters and the rest will not be indexed and hence will not be searchable.
|
|
This is applicable to all indexed data except repository files that get
|
|
indexed, which have a separate limit (see [Maximum file size
|
|
indexed](#maximum-file-size-indexed)).
|
|
|
|
- On GitLab.com, this is limited to 20,000 characters
|
|
- For self-managed installations, this is unlimited by default
|
|
|
|
This limit can be configured for self-managed installations when [enabling
|
|
Elasticsearch](../integration/elasticsearch.md#enabling-advanced-search).
|
|
|
|
Set the limit to `0` to disable it.
|
|
|
|

## Package Registry Limits
|
|
|
|
### File Size Limits
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/218017) in GitLab 13.4.
|
|
|
|
On GitLab.com, the maximum file size for a package that's uploaded to the [GitLab Package Registry](../user/packages/package_registry/index.md) varies by format:
|
|
|
|
- Conan: 5 GB
|
|
- Generic: 5 GB
|
|
- Maven: 5 GB
|
|
- npm: 5 GB
|
|
- NuGet: 5 GB
|
|
- PyPI: 5 GB
|
|
|
|
To set this limit for a self-managed installation, run the following in the
|
|
[GitLab Rails console](operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# File size limit is stored in bytes
|
|
|
|
# For Conan Packages
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(conan_max_file_size: 100.megabytes)
|
|
|
|
# For npm Packages
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(npm_max_file_size: 100.megabytes)
|
|
|
|
# For NuGet Packages
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(nuget_max_file_size: 100.megabytes)
|
|
|
|
# For Maven Packages
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(maven_max_file_size: 100.megabytes)
|
|
|
|
# For PyPI Packages
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(pypi_max_file_size: 100.megabytes)
|
|
|
|
# For Debian Packages
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(debian_max_file_size: 100.megabytes)
|
|
|
|
# For Generic Packages
|
|
Plan.default.actual_limits.update!(generic_packages_max_file_size: 100.megabytes)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set the limit to `0` to allow any file size.
|
|
|
|
### Package versions returned
|
|
|
|
When asking for versions of a given NuGet package name, the GitLab Package Registry returns a maximum of 300 versions.
