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. If you upgrade to Plus, Pro, or Enterprise Flex, Airbyte removes these limitations.

  • Max number of workspaces per user: 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.

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.

  • Scheduled or cron syncs can run at most every 15 minutes.

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 Monitor data worker usage 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.
