# Limits & Plans

> Plan and request limits

## Product Limits

Metal has usage limits in place at each payment plan. These limits are applied on a per-org basis. If you exceed the usage limit, you'll receive a `422` response with the following body:

```json theme={null}
{
  "statusCode": 422,
  "message": "<feature> limit reached"
}
```

### Product Limits by Plan

| Limit      | Hobbyist | Developer | Enterprise |
| :--------- | :------- | :-------- | :--------- |
| Embeddings | 100k     | 1M        | custom     |
| Files      | 100      | 500       | custom     |
| Indexes    | 2        | 10        | custom     |
| Jobs       | 10       | 100       | custom     |
| Memories   | 1k       | 1k        | custom     |
| Users      | 1        | 3         | custom     |

## Rate Limits

Metal has rate limits in place to ensure the stability of the API. These limits are applied on a per-minute basis. If you exceed the rate limit, you'll receive a `429 Too Many Requests` response with the following body:

```json theme={null}
{
  "statusCode": 429,
  "error": "Too Many Requests",
  "message": "Rate limit exceeded, retry in 1 minute"
}
```

### Rate Limits by Plan

| Plan       | Limit   |
| :--------- | :------ |
| Hobbyist   | 100 RPM |
| Developer  | 300 RPM |
| Enterprise | 1k+ RPM |

## Index Archiving

After 30 days of inactivity in an index, the index will be automatically `ARCHIVED`. Archived indexes aren't able to be searched, in order to reactivate them they need to be updated using the Index Update API with `status: "UNARCHIVED"`.

### Index Statuses

`LIVE` : Index is ready to use

`ARCHIVED`: Archived 30 days of inactivity (no search, no indexing)

`UNARCHIVED`: Ready to reindex and migrate to Live

`REINDEXING` : In the process of reindexing

`DEACTIVATING`: In the process of archiving
