Limits

The numbers that shape what you can create, in one place.

Free Tier

Limit	Value
Stored data — metrics	40 GB
Stored data — logs	80 GB
Stored data — traces	40 GB
Monthly ingestion — metrics	1 billion samples
Monthly ingestion — logs	100 GB
Monthly ingestion — traces	50 GB
Central (“Stored”) retention	30 days — metrics, logs, and traces
Agents	1 gateway agent per tenant
Synthetic checks	20 per tenant; minimum interval 1 minute
Synthetic check runs	100,000 per month, all checks combined
Users per tenant	20
Tenants	3 per organisation; one account can be admin of at most 3 tenants

When a storage ceiling or monthly budget is reached, ingestion for that signal pauses: the platform refuses the agent’s uploads, and the agent backs off and probes once a minute — forwarding resumes automatically as soon as stored data drops back below the ceiling (purge something, or let retention do it) or the month rolls over. Telemetry keeps flowing into the agent’s edge buffer throughout, but data that ages out of it while paused (one day for metrics, about an hour for logs and traces) is not backfilled. Synthetic probing likewise pauses at the monthly run cap and resumes at rollover.

The usage meters on the Home page track each figure live, turn amber at 80%, and flag a paused signal explicitly.

The Free Tier is provided as described in the Terms of Use; its limits may evolve. Cost and sample columns in the app are estimates for visibility — the Free Tier is not charged.
