Limits

Plan quotas and read rate limits

Grepticon enforces two kinds of limit: quotas on how much you can store, and rate limits on how fast you can read. Quotas are checked when you create a workspace or upload a file, never on the read path, so reads stay fast and predictable. Rate limits guard the read path.

Plan quotas

LimitFreePro
Workspaces per account3100
Account storage500 MiB5 GiB
Max file size50 MiB50 MiB
Files per workspace10,000100,000

Exceeding a quota fails the write with a clear message, never a silent drop. The free plan needs no card and is enough to build and evaluate against the hosted stack.

Read rate limits

Reads are rate-limited on two windows at once, per credential and per account:

WindowFreePro
Reads per credential60 / minute600 / minute
Reads per account300 / minute3,000 / minute

The per-credential window keeps a single runaway agent from starving the rest; the per-account window is the aggregate ceiling across every credential you hold.

When you cross a window, the request returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header naming how long to wait. The SDK handles this for you: it retries a 429 up to twice, honoring Retry-After before surfacing the error. Bursty agent traffic mostly rides through without your code doing anything.

Only the four read tools ls / find / cat / grep count against these windows. Management operations like creating workspaces, uploading files, and minting tokens are not on the read path.

Upgrading

Higher quotas and rate limits come with the Pro plan. Manage your plan and billing in the console under Billing. Upgrading lifts the caps on your existing account without any migration.
