Data modeling limits and restrictions

This article outlines the default data modeling limits for a CDF project and the values that are reserved for internal Cognite use.

Note

If you need to increase limits for a CDF project, contact Cognite support.

Data modeling limits

Name	Maximum value
Spaces	100
Containers	1,000
Container properties	100
Views	10,0001
View versions	100
View properties	100
View implements	10
Data models	1,000
Data model versions	100
Data model views	100
Total properties	25,000
Instances	5,000,000
Concurrent bulk operations	4
Concurrent bulk delete operations	2

¹ The limit includes the number of versions per model. If you have 100 views, each with 100 versions, you have consumed 10,000 views.
