Limits.

Hosted quotas, rate limits, and per-request bounds.

Limits

The hosted service enforces quotas so its email and storage budgets survive being free. Self-hosted instances tune all of them through environment variables.

Stored submissions per form10,000
Submissions per minute per form60
Sign-in emailsRate limited per address, per requester, and per day

What happens at the limit#

  • A full inbox rejects new posts with 429 until you export a CSV and delete submissions. The dashboard shows an inbox-full notice.
  • Creating a form past the account cap returns 429.
  • Rate-limited submissions return 429 without being stored; senders can retry after a minute.
  • Abuse patterns across many forms from one source are limited independently, so one noisy sender cannot starve everyone else.

Per-request limits#

  • 64 KiB body
  • 64 named fields
  • Field names up to 100 characters
  • Values up to 10 KiB
  • 20 repeats per field name
