This page describes the limits and known limitations for Pinecone Database. Each topic has its own reference page:
  • Rate limits: request-per-second, monthly usage, and model throughput limits that vary by pricing plan, plus the 429 errors you get when you exceed them.
  • Object limits: the number or size of projects, users, indexes, namespaces, storage, backups, and collections allowed by plan.
  • Operation limits: fixed batch-size limits for upsert, import, query, fetch, and delete, plus metadata filter limits.
  • Identifier limits: maximum length and allowed characters for organization, project, index, namespace, and record identifiers.
  • Known limitations: index and serverless caveats, such as upsert consistency and metadata rules.
If a limit is blocking you, contact Support with details about your use case. Many limits can be raised on request, and Support can often suggest a workaround for the ones that can’t.
