Airbyte Cloud limits
Understanding the following limitations will help you more effectively manage Airbyte Cloud.
Standard plan limitations
These limitations only apply to those using the Standard plan. Upgrading to a higher plan raises or removes them. See Airbyte's pricing page to compare plans.
-
Max number of workspaces per organization: 1. If you were a Cloud Standard customer before September 24, 2025, Airbyte has grandfathered you into its historical 3-workspace limit.
-
Scheduled or cron syncs can run at most every 60 minutes.
-
Single sign-on (SSO) isn't available. If your Standard organization already uses SSO, you keep it as long as you remain a paying customer.
Plus plan limitations
These limitations only apply to those using the Plus plan. If you upgrade to Pro or Enterprise Flex, Airbyte removes these limitations.
-
Max number of workspaces per organization: 2.
-
Scheduled or cron syncs can run at most every 15 minutes.
-
SSO is available, but SCIM provisioning and role-based access control aren't.
Cloud limitations for all plans
-
Max number of streams that can be returned by a source in a discover call: 1,000
-
Max number of streams that can be configured to sync in a single connection: 1,000
-
Max number of fields that can be selected to sync in a single connection: 20,000
-
Size of a single record: 20MB**
Pro and Enterprise Flex plan considerations
Organizations on capacity-based plans (Pro, Enterprise Flex) have a contracted number of data workers. When all data workers are in use, additional syncs are queued until capacity becomes available. This is not a hard limit on the number of connections or syncs you can create, but a limit on concurrent sync execution.
You can enable on-demand capacity for critical connections so they run even when committed capacity is exhausted. See Manage and monitor data workers for details.
** The effective maximum size of the record may vary based per destination. Some destinations may
fail to sync if a record cannot be stored, but Destinations which support
typing and deduping will adjust your record so that
the sync does not fail, given the database/file constraints. For example, the maximum size of a
record in MongoDB is 16MB - records larger than that will need to be modified. At the very least,
primary keys and cursors will be maintained. Any modifications to the record will be stored within
airbyte_meta.changes for your review within the destination.
