Limits

Plan allowances and the query, sync, Slack, and API limits that apply to every workspace.

Plan allowances

Each plan includes monthly allowances. See pricing for prices.

Plan	Sources	Managed storage	Data scanned per month	AI credits per month
Free	2	10 GB	50 GB	1,000
Starter	3	100 GB	250 GB	1,000
Growth	10	1 TB	2 TB	6,000
Scale	25	3 TB	10 TB	15,000

A source is one connected database or application, however many tables it has.
Storage is the data Embrasure hosts. Data scanned is what queries read to answer questions.
AI credits cover Ember answers and other agent work, and vary by model and task.
Allowances are in preview. There are no automatic overage charges: when a workspace reaches an allowance, the action that needs it stops until the next month or a plan upgrade. Reaching the source or storage limit blocks new sources; reaching the AI credit or scan allowance pauses Ember answers.
Workspaces created before plan allowances were introduced aren't limited by them.

Free does not expire. Workspace owners can upgrade from Settings.

These apply to SQL from Ember, SQL in Embrasure, MCP, the CLI, and the API.

Limit	Value
Query timeout	120 seconds by default; the API accepts up to 3,600 seconds
Queries against a connected Snowflake source	60 seconds
Data scanned per query	25 GiB
Rows kept per result	10,000 by default; SQL also offers 100,000 or unlimited
Result retention	7 days
SQL length	262,144 characters
Statements per request	1
Rows per result page	1,000 through the API; 100 through MCP and the CLI
Rows Ember reads per query	500

See the SQL reference for the statements each surface allows.

Limit	Value
Batch sync interval	Every 15 minutes to every 7 days
Default interval	Every 60 minutes; every 15 minutes for Snowflake and every 2 hours for PostgreSQL batch syncs
Continuous sync	PostgreSQL and Supabase, through change data capture
Connection checks	5 per user per 10 minutes

When a source API rate-limits Embrasure, the sync waits and retries. You don't need to reconnect.

Limit	Value
Question length	8,000 characters; longer messages are cut off
Chart size	20 points, 12 series or slices
Table size	100 rows and 8 columns, shown 10 rows per page
One-off scheduled messages	Up to 120 days ahead

Limit	Value
Questions per user	30 per hour
Question length	2,000 characters

Limit	Value
Personal access token lifetime	30 days by default, 1 to 365 days
Databases a token can write to	20
MCP tool response size	64,000 bytes
Rate limits	See versioning and rate limits

Embrasure can also set custom usage quotas for a workspace. Requests over a quota return 429; see troubleshooting.
