SALESFORCE LIMITS QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

This guide provides commonly referenced limits for Salesforce.

This guide might not cover all limits or might contain limits that don’t apply to your Salesforce org. Stated limits aren’t a promise that
the specified resource is available at its limit in all circumstances. For example, load, performance and other system issues might prevent
some limits from being reached. In addition, this guide doesn’t include limits of:
• User interface elements in the Salesforce application
• Field lengths of Salesforce objects
• Desktop integration clients
• Your Salesforce contract
For limits related to Salesforce feature administration, see Salesforce Limits.
Contractual limits may also apply, as per your Salesforce contract.

related list of an account, contact, lead, opportunity, or custom object. If you don’t see the related list on task or event page layouts, ask
your admin to add it.
2
The custom apps and custom tabs that are contained in a managed package that’s publicly posted on the AppExchange don’t count
against the limits for your Salesforce edition.
3
Additional restrictions apply for activities, long text area fields, relationship fields, and roll-up summary fields.

5
The custom objects that are contained in a managed package that’s publicly posted on the AppExchange don’t count against the limits
for your Salesforce edition. At the same time, an org can’t have more than 2,000 custom objects, regardless of the source or namespace
of those objects. Soft-deleted custom objects and their data count against your limits. We recommend that you hard delete or erase
custom objects you no longer need.
6
Each relationship is included in the maximum custom fields allowed.
7
The limit of 100 external objects applies regardless of how many Salesforce Connect add-ons you purchase for your org.
8
As a best practice, don’t exceed 10,000 child records for a master-detail relationship.
9
Maximum objects that can be pending for Omni-Channel routing in an org. When an item is assigned to Omni-Channel-enabled
queues, Omni attempts to route it to an available agent. If no agent is available, the work is pending routing.
10
Maximum records that can be queued per hour in an org, across all Omni-Channel-enabled queues. Each time an item is assigned to
an Omni-Channel queue, the platform checks how many items were queued in the preceding hour. If the limit has been reached, the
item isn’t assigned to the queue.
9
Maximum objects that can be pending for Omni-Channel routing in an org. When an item is assigned to Omni-Channel-enabled
queues, Omni attempts to route it to an available agent. If no agent is available, the work is pending routing.
11
If your org exceeds its daily Web-to-Case or Web-to-Lead limit, the default case owner or default lead creator receives a notification
email that contains information about the case or lead. When your org reaches the 24-hour limit, Salesforce stores additional requests
in a pending request queue that contains Web-to-Case and Web-to-Lead requests. The requests are submitted when the limit refreshes.
The pending request queue has a limit of 50,000 combined requests. If your org reaches the pending request limit, additional requests
are rejected and not queued. Your admin receives email notifications for the first five rejected submissions. Contact Salesforce Customer
Support to change your org’s pending request limit.

Posts and comments that users make in Chatter are retained during the entire time that a customer's applicable org remains provisioned.
We reserve the right to enforce limits on:
• The number of system-generated tracked feed updates. Currently tracked feed updates that are older than 45 days and have no
likes or comments are deleted automatically. The tracked feed updates no longer appear in the feed. However, if auditing is enabled
for a tracked field, the audit history for that field is still available.
• The number of email notifications that can be sent per org per hour.
The limits are subject to change. Contact Salesforce for more information.

Search Limits for Salesforce Files

Search supports several file types and has file size limits. If a file exceeds the maximum size, the text within the file isn't searched, but
the file's name, description, type, and owner are. This table lists the maximum file size for text within the file to be searchable.

Rich text area fields allowed on an object, regardless of field type, applies. Each object can contain 1,600,000 characters across long
text area and rich text area fields. When you create a long text area or rich text area field, you set a character limit for
the field—the maximum length of the text that can be entered. The default character limit for long text area and rich
text area fields is 32,768 (32 KB). The maximum character limit for long text area and rich text area fields is 131,072
(128 KB). The minimum character limit is 256. The maximum size of an image that can be uploaded in a rich text area
field is 1 MB.

The maximum size of email messages for email services varies depending on language and character set. The size of an email message
includes the email headers, body, attachments, and encoding. As a result, an email with a 25 MB attachment likely exceeds the 25 MB
size limit for an email message after accounting for the headers, body, and encoding.

Picklist Limits
The maximum entries you can have in a picklist is determined by the total number of characters allowed in the picklist, which is 15,000.
Each entry includes a line break and a return character that aren’t visible. These two additional characters per entry are counted as part
of the 15,000 limit.

Additional Limits for Standard Picklists

For standard picklists, each entry can have up to 40 characters, not including line breaks and returns. For standard multi-select picklists,
the total number of characters for all entries combined can’t exceed 255.
For standard picklists in orgs that use record types or the Translation Workbench, you can have unlimited entries with these exceptions
for special picklists.

The Process Builder has superseded flow trigger workflow actions, formerly available in a pilot program. Organizations that are using
flow trigger workflow actions can continue to create and edit them, but flow trigger workflow actions aren’t available for new organizations.

Workflow Alert Emails: Daily Workflow Alert Email Limits

The daily limit for emails sent through email alerts is 1,000 per standard Salesforce license per org—except for free Developer Edition
and trial orgs, where the daily workflow email limit is 15 . The overall org limit is 2,000,000. This limit applies to emails sent through email
alerts in workflow rules, approval processes, flows, processes, or the REST API.
After your org has reached its daily workflow email limit:
• Any emails in the workflow queue left over and not sent that day are discarded. Salesforce doesn't try to resend them later.
• If a workflow rule with an action and an email alert is triggered, only the email action is blocked.
• Final approval, final rejection, approval, rejection, and recall email actions are blocked.
• An error message is added to the debug log.
The following items don't count against the workflow email limit:

17
Salesforce Application Limits Data Related Limits

• Approval notification emails

• Task assignment notifications
• Lead assignment rules notifications
• Case assignment rules notifications
• Case escalation rules notifications
• Force.com sites usage alerts
The limit restriction is based on activity in the 24-hour period starting and ending at midnight GMT. Adding or removing a user license
immediately adjusts the limit's total. If you send an email alert to a group, every recipient in that group counts against your daily workflow
email limit.
When workflow email alerts approach or exceed certain limits, Salesforce sends a warning email to the default workflow user or—if the
default workflow user isn't set—to an active system administrator.

• Campaigns
• Campaign Members
• Cases
• Case Teams
• Contacts

Data Storage
For data storage, Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions are allocated the greater of 1
GB or a per-user limit. For example, a Professional Edition org with 10 users receives 1 GB, because 10 users multiplied by 20 MB per user
is 200 MB, which is less than the 1 GB minimum. A Professional Edition org with 100 users receives more than the 1 GB minimum, because
100 users multiplied by 20 MB per user is 2,000 MB.
File Storage
Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions are allocated 10 GB of file storage per org.
Orgs are allocated additional file storage based on the number of standard user licenses. In Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited
Editions, orgs are allocated 2 GB of file storage per user license. Contact Manager, Group, Professional Edition orgs are allocated 612 MB
per standard user license, which includes 100 MB per user license plus 512 MB per license for the Salesforce CRM Content feature license.
An org with fewer than 10 users will receive a total of 1 GB of per-user file storage rather than 100 MB per user license.

Note: Each Salesforce CRM Content feature license provides an additional 512 MB of file storage, whether Salesforce CRM Content
is enabled or not.
File storage and data storage are calculated asynchronously, so if you import or add a large number of records or files, the change in
your org’s storage usage isn’t reflected immediately.
The minimum values in the table below apply to Salesforce and Salesforce Platform user licenses. If your org uses custom user licenses,
contact Salesforce to determine your exact storage amount. For a description of user licenses, see User Licenses.

CHAPTER 2 Force.com Platform Limits

This chapter provides limits for the Force.com platform.

Apex Governor Limits

Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience

Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer, and Database.com Editions

Because Apex runs in a multitenant environment, the Apex runtime engine strictly enforces limits to ensure that runaway Apex code or
processes don’t monopolize shared resources.

Per-Transaction Apex Limits

These limits count for each Apex transaction. For Batch Apex, these limits are reset for each execution of a batch of records in the
execute method.
This table lists limits for synchronous Apex and asynchronous Apex (Batch Apex and future methods) when they’re different. Otherwise,
this table lists only one limit that applies to both synchronous and asynchronous Apex.

Description Synchronous Asynchronous

Limit Limit
Total number of SOQL queries issued1 (This limit doesn’t apply to custom metadata types. 100 200
In a single Apex transaction, custom metadata records can have unlimited SOQL queries.)

Total number of records retrieved by SOQL queries 50,000

Total number of records retrieved by Database.getQueryLocator 10,000

Maximum number of push notifications that can be sent in each push notification method 2,000
call

1
In a SOQL query with parent-child relationship subqueries, each parent-child relationship counts as an extra query. These types of
queries have a limit of three times the number for top-level queries. The row counts from these relationship queries contribute to the
row counts of the overall code execution. In addition to static SOQL statements, calls to the following methods count against the number
of SOQL statements issued in a request.
• Database.countQuery
• Database.getQueryLocator
• Database.query
2
Calls to the following methods count against the number of DML queries issued in a request.
• Approval.process
• Database.convertLead
• Database.emptyRecycleBin
• Database.rollback
• Database.setSavePoint
• delete and Database.delete
• insert and Database.insert
• merge and Database.merge
• undelete and Database.undelete
• update and Database.update
• upsert and Database.upsert
• System.runAs
3
Recursive Apex that does not fire any triggers with insert, update, or delete statements exists in a single invocation, with a
single stack. Conversely, recursive Apex that fires a trigger spawns the trigger in a new Apex invocation, separate from the invocation
of the code that caused it to fire. Because spawning a new invocation of Apex is a more expensive operation than a recursive call in a
single invocation, there are tighter restrictions on the stack depth of these types of recursive calls.
4
Email services heap size is 36 MB.
5
CPU time is calculated for all executions on the Salesforce application servers occurring in one Apex transaction. CPU time is calculated
for the executing Apex code, and for any processes that are called from this code, such as package code and workflows. CPU time is
private for a transaction and is isolated from other transactions. Operations that don’t consume application server CPU time aren’t counted

27
Force.com Platform Limits Apex Governor Limits

toward CPU time. For example, the portion of execution time spent in the database for DML, SOQL, and SOSL isn’t counted, nor is waiting
time for Apex callouts.

Note:
• Limits apply individually to each testMethod.
• To determine the code execution limits for your code while it is running, use the Limits methods. For example, you can use
the getDMLStatements method to determine the number of DML statements that have already been called by your
program. Or, you can use the getLimitDMLStatements method to determine the total number of DML statements
available to your code.

Per-Transaction Certified Managed Package Limits

Certified managed packages—managed packages that have passed the security review for AppExchange—get their own set of limits
for most per-transaction limits. Certified managed packages are developed by Salesforce ISV Partners, are installed in your organization
from Force.com AppExchange, and have unique namespaces.
Here is an example that illustrates the separate certified managed package limits for DML statements. If you install a certified managed
package, all the Apex code in that package gets its own 150 DML statements. These DML statements are in addition to the 150 DML
statements your organization’s native code can execute. This limit increase means more than 150 DML statements can execute during
a single transaction if code from the managed package and your native organization both execute. Similarly, the certified managed
package gets its own 100-SOQL-query limit for synchronous Apex, in addition to the organization’s native code limit of 100 SOQL queries.
There’s no limit on the number of certified namespaces that can be invoked in a single transaction. However, the number of operations
that can be performed in each namespace must not exceed the per-transaction limits. There’s also a limit on the cumulative number of
operations that can be made across namespaces in a transaction. This cumulative limit is 11 times the per-namespace limit. For example,
if the per-namespace limit for SOQL queries is 100, a single transaction can perform up to 1,100 SOQL queries. In this case, the cumulative
limit is 11 times the per-namespace limit of 100. These queries can be performed across an unlimited number of namespaces, as long
as any one namespace doesn't have more than 100 queries. The cumulative limit doesn’t affect limits that are shared across all namespaces,
such as the limit on maximum CPU time.

Note: These cross-namespace limits apply only to namespaces in certified managed packages. Namespaces in packages that are
not certified don’t have their own separate governor limits. The resources they use continue to count against the same governor
limits used by your org's custom code.
This table lists the cumulative cross-namespace limits.

Description Cumulative
Cross-Namespace Limit
Total number of SOQL queries issued 1,100

Total number of records retrieved by Database.getQueryLocator 110,000

Total number of SOSL queries issued 220

Total number of DML statements issued 1,650

Total number of callouts (HTTP requests or Web services calls) in a transaction 1,100

Total number of sendEmail methods allowed 110

All per-transaction limits count separately for certified managed packages except for:

28
Force.com Platform Limits Apex Governor Limits

• The total heap size

• The maximum CPU time
• The maximum transaction execution time
• The maximum number of unique namespaces
These limits count for the entire transaction, regardless of how many certified managed packages are running in the same transaction.
Also, if you install a package from AppExchange that isn’t created by a Salesforce ISV Partner and isn’t certified, the code from that
package doesn’t have its own separate governor limits. Any resources it uses count against the total governor limits for your organization.
Cumulative resource messages and warning emails are also generated based on managed package namespaces.
For more information on Salesforce ISV Partner packages, see Salesforce Partner Programs.

Force.com Platform Apex Limits

The limits in this table aren’t specific to an Apex transaction and are enforced by the Force.com platform.

Description Limit

Force.com Platform Limits Apex Governor Limits

Description Limit
To endpoints within your
Salesforce org’s domain:
unlimited

1
For Batch Apex, method executions include executions of the start, execute, and finish methods. This limit is for your entire
organization and is shared with all asynchronous Apex: Batch Apex, Queueable Apex, scheduled Apex, and future methods. The licenses
that count toward this limit are full Salesforce user licenses or Force.com App Subscription user licenses. Chatter Free, Chatter customer
users, Customer Portal User, and partner portal User licenses aren’t included.
2
If more requests are made while the 10 long-running requests are still running, they’re denied.
3
When batch jobs are submitted, they’re held in the flex queue before the system queues them for processing.
4
Batch jobs that haven’t started yet remain in the queue until they’re started. If more than one job is running, this limit doesn’t cause
any batch job to fail and execute methods of batch Apex jobs still run in parallel.
5
This limit applies to tests running asynchronously. This group of tests includes tests started through the Salesforce user interface
including the Developer Console or by inserting ApexTestQueueItem objects using SOAP API.
6
For example, if 50 cursors are open and a client application still logged in as the same user attempts to open a new one, the oldest of
the 50 cursors is released. Cursor limits for different Force.com features are tracked separately. For example, you can have 50 Apex query
cursors, 15 cursors for the Batch Apex start method, 5 cursors each for the Batch Apex execute and finish methods, and 5
Visualforce cursors open at the same time.
7
The host is defined by the unique subdomain for the URL—for example, www.mysite.com and extra.mysite.com are two
different hosts. This limit is calculated across all organizations that access the same host. If this limit is exceeded, a CalloutException
is thrown.

Static Apex Limits

Description Limit
Default timeout of callouts (HTTP requests or Web services calls) in a transaction 10 seconds
1
Maximum size of callout request or response (HTTP request or Web services call) 6 MB for synchronous Apex or
12 MB for asynchronous Apex

Maximum SOQL query run time before Salesforce cancels the transaction 120 seconds

Maximum number of class and trigger code units in a deployment of Apex 5,000

For loop list batch size 200

Maximum number of records returned for a Batch Apex query in Database.QueryLocator 50 million

Maximum number of characters for a trigger 1 million

Maximum amount of code used by all Apex code in an organization1 3 MB

Method size limit 2 65,535 bytecode instructions in

This limit does not apply to certified managed packages installed from AppExchange (that is, an app that has been marked AppExchange
Certified). The code in those types of packages belongs to a namespace unique from the code in your organization. For more information
on AppExchange Certified packages, see the Force.com AppExchange online help. This limit also does not apply to any code included
in a class defined with the @isTest annotation.
2
Large methods that exceed the allowed limit cause an exception to be thrown during the execution of your code.

Miscellaneous Apex Limits

SOQL Query Performance
For best performance, SOQL queries must be selective, particularly for queries inside triggers. To avoid long execution times, the
system can terminate nonselective SOQL queries. Developers receive an error message when a non-selective query in a trigger
executes against an object that contains more than 200,000 records. To avoid this error, ensure that the query is selective. See More
Efficient SOQL Queries.
Chatter in Apex
For classes in the ConnectApi namespace, every write operation costs one DML statement against the Apex governor limit.
ConnectApi method calls are also subject to rate limiting. ConnectApi rate limits match Chatter REST API rate limits. Both
have a per user, per namespace, per hour rate limit. When you exceed the rate limit, a ConnectApi.RateLimitException
is thrown. Your Apex code must catch and handle this exception.
Event Reports
The maximum number of records that an event report returns for a user who is not a system administrator is 20,000; for system
administrators, 100,000.
Data.com Clean
If you use the Data.com Clean product and its automated jobs, and you have set up Apex triggers on account, contact, or lead records
that run SOQL queries, the queries can interfere with Clean jobs for those objects. Your Apex triggers (combined) must not exceed
200 SOQL queries per batch. If they do, your Clean job for that object fails. In addition, if your triggers call future methods, they
are subject to a limit of 10 future calls per batch.

Push Notification Limits

The maximum push notifications allowed for each mobile app associated with your Salesforce org depends on the type of app.

Mobile application type Maximum notifications per app per day

Provided by Salesforce (for example, Salesforce1) 50,000

31
Force.com Platform Limits API Limits

Mobile application type Maximum notifications per app per day

Developed by your company for internal employee use 35,000

Installed from the AppExchange 5,000

Only deliverable notifications count toward this limit. For example, consider the scenario where a notification is sent to 1,000 employees
in your company, but 100 employees haven’t installed the mobile application yet. Only the notifications sent to the 900 employees who
have installed the mobile application count toward this limit.
Each test push notification that is generated through the Test Push Notification page is limited to a single recipient. Test push notifications
count toward an application’s daily push notification limit.

API Limits
The following are API limits for concurrent and total API requests, bulk API operations, API cursors, and limits of some selected APIs.

API Requests Limits

Sandbox N/A N/A 5,000,000

Limits are enforced against the aggregate of all API calls made by the organization in a 24 hour period; limits are not on a per-user basis.
When an organization exceeds a limit, all users in the organization may be temporarily blocked from making additional calls. Calls will
be blocked until usage for the preceding 24 hours drops below the limit.
In the Salesforce application, administrators can view how many API requests have been issued in the last 24 hours on the Company
Information page (from Setup, enter Company Information in the Quick Find box, then select Company Information).
Administrators can also view a more detailed report of API usage over the last seven days by navigating to the Reports tab, selecting
the Administrative Reports folder and clicking the API Usage Last 7 days report.

Note: Limits are automatically enforced for all editions.

Any action that sends a call to the API counts toward usage limits, except the following:
• Outbound messages
• Apex callouts
You can configure your organization so that email is sent to a designated user when the number of API requests has exceeded a specified
percentage of the limit. You can perform this configuration from Setup by entering API Usage Notifications in the Quick
Find box and then selecting API Usage Notifications.

Example API Usage Metering Calculations

The following examples illustrate API usage metering calculations for several scenarios:
• For an Enterprise Edition organization with fifteen Salesforce licenses, the request limit is 15,000 requests (15 licenses X 1,000 calls).
• For an Enterprise Edition organization with 15,000 Salesforce licenses, the request limit is 1,000,000 (the number of licenses X 1,000
calls is greater than the maximum value, so the lower limit of 1,000,000 is used).
• For a Developer Edition organization that made 14,500 calls at 5:00 AM Wednesday, 499 calls at 11:00 PM Wednesday, only one
more call could successfully be made until 5:00 AM Thursday.
• For an Enterprise Edition organization with 60 Gold Partner licenses, the request limit is 15,000 (the number of licenses X 200 calls
is less than the minimum value of 15,000).

33
Force.com Platform Limits Chatter REST API Limits

Increasing Total API Request Limit

The calculation of the API request limit based on user licenses is designed to allow sufficient capacity for your organization based on
your number of users. If you need a higher limit and you don't want to purchase additional user licenses or upgrade to Performance
Edition, you can purchase additional API calls. For more information, contact your account representative.
Before you purchase additional API calls, you should perform a due diligence of your current API usage. Client applications, whether it
is your own enterprise applications or partner applications, that make calls to the API can often be optimized to use fewer API calls to
do the same work. If you are using a partner product, you should consult with the vendor to verify that the product is making optimal
use of the API. A product that makes inefficient use of the API will incur unnecessary cost for your organization.

Chatter REST API Limits

Limits protect shared resources. These are the limits for consumers of Chatter REST API.
Chatter REST API requests are subject to rate limiting. Chatter REST API has a different rate limit than other Salesforce APIs. Chatter REST
API has a per user, per application, per hour rate limit. When you exceed the rate limit, all Chatter REST API resources return a 503 Service
Unavailable error code.
For applications using a session ID from Force.com, the rate limit is per user, per hour—there isn't a separate bucket for applications. All
applications the user accesses with a session ID use this general quota. To take advantage of the per user, per application, per hour limit,
use OAuth tokens.

Note: Load, performance, and other system issues can prevent some limits from being reached. Limits can change without notice.
Applications should make efficient use of available requests and gracefully handle the 503 error code.

Bulk API Limits

Bulk API Limit Limit Description
Batch limit You can submit up to 5,000 batches per rolling 24 hour period. You can't create new batches
associated with a job that is more than 24 hours old.

Batch lifespan Batches and jobs that are older than seven days are removed from the queue regardless
of job status. The seven days are measured from the youngest batch associated with a job,
or the age of the job if there are no batches. You can't create new batches associated with
a job that is more than 24 hours old.

Batch size • Batches for data loads can consist of a single CSV, XML, or JSON file that is no larger
than 10 MB.
• A batch can contain a maximum of 10,000 records.
• A batch can contain a maximum of 10,000,000 characters for all the data in a batch.
• A field can contain a maximum of 32,000 characters.
• A record can contain a maximum of 5,000 fields.
• A record can contain a maximum of 400,000 characters for all its fields.
• A batch must contain some content or an error occurs.

Batch processing time Batches are processed in chunks. The chunk size depends on the API version. In API version
20.0 and earlier, the chunk size is 100 records. In API version 21.0 and later, the chunk size
is 200 records. There’s a five-minute limit for processing each chunk. Also, if it takes longer

34
Force.com Platform Limits API Query Cursor Limits

Bulk API Limit Limit Description

than 10 minutes to process a whole batch, the Bulk API places the remainder of the batch
back in the queue for later processing. If the Bulk API continues to exceed the 10-minute
limit on subsequent attempts, the batch is placed back in the queue and reprocessed up
to 10 times before the batch is permanently marked as failed.

Binary content • The length of any file name can't exceed 512 bytes.
• A zip file can't exceed 10 MB.
• The total size of the unzipped content can't exceed 20 MB.
• A maximum of 1,000 files can be contained in a zip file. Directories don't count toward
this total.

Bulk query number of attempts to query 15 attempts at 10 minutes each to process the batch. There is also a two minute limit on
the time to process the query. If more than 15 attempts are made for the query, an error
message of “Tried more than fifteen times” is returned. If the query takes more than two
minutes to process, a QUERY_TIMEOUT error is returned.

Bulk query number of retrieved files 15 files. If the query needs to return more than 15 files, the query should be filtered to return
less data. Bulk batch sizes are not used for bulk queries.

Bulk query results lifespan 7 days.

Bulk query retrieved file size 1 gigabyte.

Job open time The maximum time that a job can remain open is 24 hours. The Bulk API doesn't support
clients that, for example, post one batch every hour for many hours.

API Query Cursor Limits

A user can have up to 10 query cursors open at a time. If 10 QueryLocator cursors are open when a client application, logged in
as the same user, attempts to open a new one, then the oldest of the 10 cursors is released. If the client application attempts to open
the released query cursor, an error results.

SOAP API Call Limits

API Name API Limit Limit Description
create() Maximum number of Your client application can add up to 200 records in a single create()
records created call. If a create request exceeds 200 objects, then the entire operation fails.

describeSObjects() Maximum number of The describeSObjects() call is limited to a maximum of 100 objects
objects returned returned.

emptyRecycleBin() Maximum number of Your org can have up to 5,000 records per license in the Recycle Bin at any
records in the Recycle Bin one time. For example, if your org has five user licenses, 25,000 records can
be stored in the Recycle Bin. If your org reaches its Recycle Bin limit,
Salesforce automatically removes the oldest records, as long as they have
been in the recycle bin for at least two hours.

35
Force.com Platform Limits Streaming API Limits

API Name API Limit Limit Description

getDeleted() Limits for returned records • If your getDeleted() call returns more than 600,000 records and
the user is a system administrator, an exception EXCEEDED_ID_LIMIT
is returned.
• If your getDeleted() call returns more than 20,000 records and
the user is not a system administrator, an exception
OPERATION_TOO_LARGE is returned. Note that this error is returned
when more than 20,000 records across the organization have been
deleted, not just the records viewable by the user.

login() Login request size limit The login request size is limited to 10 KB.

login() Maximum calls per user The limit is 3600 calls to login() per user per hour. Exceeding this limit
results in a “Login Rate Exceeded” error.

merge() Merge request limits • Up to 200 merge requests can be made in a single SOAP call.
• Up to three records can be merged in a single request, including the
master record. This is the same limit as the Salesforce user interface. If
you have more than three records to merge, use the same master record
in each request to avoid errors.
• External ID fields cannot be used with merge().

update() Maximum number of Your client application can change up to 200 records in a single update()
records updated call. If an update request exceeds 200 records, the entire operation fails.

query() and Batch size limits WSC clients can set the batch size by calling setQueryOptions()
queryMore() on the connection object. C# client applications can change this setting by
specifying the batch size in the call QueryOptions portion of the SOAP
header before invoking the query() call. The maximum batch size is
2,000 records. However this setting is only a suggestion. There is no
guarantee that the requested batch size will be the actual batch size. This
is done to maximize performance.
The batch size will be no more than 200 if the SOQL statement selects two
or more custom fields of type long text. This is to prevent large SOAP
messages from being returned.

Email Limits
Using the API or Apex, you can send single emails to a maximum of 1,000 external email addresses per day based on Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). Single emails sent using the Salesforce application don't count toward this limit. There’s no limit on sending individual
emails to contacts, leads, person accounts, and users in your org directly from account, contact, lead, opportunity, case, campaign, or
custom object pages.
When sending single emails, keep in mind:
• You can send 100 emails per SingleEmailMessage.
• If you use SingleEmailMessage to email your org’s internal users, specifying the user’s ID in setTargetObjectId
means the email doesn’t count toward the daily limit. However, specifying internal users’ email addresses in setToAddresses
means the email does count toward the limit.
You can send mass email to a maximum of 1,000 external email addresses per day per org based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The
maximum number of external addresses you can include in each mass email depends on your edition:

Edition External Address Limit per Mass Email

Personal, Contact Manager, and Group N/A

Professional 250

Enterprise 500

Unlimited and Performance 1,000

Note:
• The single and mass email limits don't take unique addresses into account. For example, if you have
[email protected] in your email 10 times, that counts as 10 against the limit.
• You can send an unlimited amount of email to your org’s internal users, which includes portal users.
• You can send mass emails only to contacts, person accounts, leads, and your org’s internal users.
• In Developer Edition orgs and orgs evaluating Salesforce during a trial period, you can send mass email to no more than 10
external email addresses per day. This lower limit doesn’t apply if your org was created before the Winter ’12 release and
already had mass email enabled with a higher limit. Additionally, your org can send single emails to a maximum of 15 email
addresses per day.

Change sets Inbound and outbound change sets can have up to 10,000 files of metadata.

SOQL and SOSL Limits

Feature Limit Limit Description
SOQL statements Maximum length of SOQL By default, 20,000 characters.
statements
Note: Long, complex SOQL statements, such as statements that
contain many formula fields, can sometimes result in a
QUERY_TOO_COMPLICATED error. The error occurs because
the statement is expanded internally when processed by Salesforce,
even though the original SOQL statement is under the 20,000
character limit. To avoid this, reduce the complexity of your SOQL
statement.

SOSL statements Maximum length of SOSL By default, 20,000. This limit is tied to the SOQL statement character limit
statements defined for your org.

SOSL search query strings Maximum length of If the SearchQuery string is longer than 10,000 characters, no result
SearchQuery string rows are returned. If SearchQuery is longer than 4,000 characters,
any logical operators are removed. For example, the AND operator in a
statement with a SearchQuery that’s 4,001 characters will default to
the OR operator, which could return more results than expected.

SOSL query results Maximum rows returned 2,000 results total (API version 28.0 and later), unless you specify custom
limits in the query. Previous API versions return 200 results.

Relationship queries Relationship query limits • No more than 35 child-to-parent relationships can be specified in a
query. A custom object allows up to 25 relationships, so you can
reference all the child-to-parent relationships for a custom object in
one query.
• No more than 20 parent-to-child relationships can be specified in a
query.
• In each specified relationship, no more than five levels can be specified
in a child-to-parent relationship. For example,
Contact.Account.Owner.FirstName (three levels).
• In each specified relationship, only one level of parent-to-child
relationship can be specified in a query. For example, if the FROM
clause specifies Account, the SELECT clause can specify only the
Contact or other objects at that level. It could not specify a child object
of Contact.

39
Force.com Platform Limits SOQL and SOSL Limits

Feature Limit Limit Description

FOR VIEW and FOR Maximum RecentlyViewed The RecentlyViewed object is updated every time the logged-in user
REFERENCE records allowed views or references a record. It is also updated when records are retrieved
using the FOR VIEW or FOR REFERENCE clause in a SOQL query.
To ensure that the most recent data is available, RecentlyViewed data is
periodically truncated down to 200 records per object.

OFFSET clause Maximum number of rows The maximum offset is 2,000 rows. Requesting an offset greater than
skipped by OFFSET 2,000 will result in a NUMBER_OUTSIDE_VALID_RANGE error.

The following are SOQL limitations and tips that are specific to some Salesforce objects.

Object Description
ContentDocumentLink A SOQL query must filter on one of Id, ContentDocumentId, or LinkedEntityId.

ContentHubItem A SOQL query must filter on one of Id, ExternalId, or ContentHubRepositoryId.

Custom metadata types Custom metadata types support the following SOQL query syntax.

SELECT fieldList [...]

FROM objectType
[USING SCOPE filterScope]
[WHERE conditionExpression]
[ORDER BY field {ASC|DESC} [NULLS {FIRST|LAST}] ]

• The fieldList can include only non-relationship fields.

• FROM can include only one object.
• You can use the following operators.
– IN and NOT IN
– =, >, >=, <, <=, and !=
– LIKE, including wild cards
– AND

• You can use ORDER BY, ASC, and DESC with multiple fields.
• You can only use ORDER BY when the ordered field is a selected field.

External objects • A subquery that involves external objects can fetch up to 1,000 rows of data.
• Each SOQL query can have up to 4 joins across external objects and other types of objects.
Each join requires a separate round trip to the external system when executing the query.
Expect longer response times for each join in a query.

• External objects don’t support the following aggregate functions and clauses.
– AVG() function
– COUNT(fieldName) function (however, COUNT() is supported)
– HAVING clause
– GROUP BY clause

– EXCLUDES operator
– FOR VIEW clause
– FOR REFERENCE clause
– INCLUDES operator
– LIKE operator
– toLabel() function
– TYPEOF clause
– WITH clause

The following limits apply only to the OData 2.0 and 4.0 adapters for Salesforce Connect.
• External objects have the following limitations for the ORDER BY clause.
– NULLS FIRST and NULLS LAST are ignored.
– External objects don’t support the ORDER BY clause in relationship queries.

• The COUNT() aggregate function is supported only on external objects whose external
data sources have Request Row Counts enabled. Specifically, the response from
the external system must include the total row count of the result set.
The following limits apply only to custom adapters for Salesforce Connect.
• Location-based SOQL queries of external objects aren’t supported.
• If a SOQL query of an external object includes the following, the query fails.
– convertCurrency() function
– UPDATE TRACKING clause
– UPDATE VIEWSTAT clause
– USING SCOPE clause

• In an ORDER BY clause, the following are ignored.

– NULLS FIRST syntax
– NULLS LAST syntax

The following limits apply only to external objects associated with a SharePoint 2010/2013
external data source using SecureAgent.
• In SOQL queries of external objects, IN clauses with more than approximately 15 IDs will
return the error “This operation is too complicated for Secure Agent.” The exact IN clause
limit varies based on SharePoint ID length.

41
Force.com Platform Limits SOQL and SOSL Limits

Object Description
KnowledgeArticleVersion • Always filter on a single value of PublishStatus unless the query filters on one or
more primary key IDs. To support security, only users with the “Manage Articles” permission
see articles whose PublishStatus value is Draft.
• Archived article versions are stored in the articletype_kav object. To query archived article
versions, specify the article Id and set sLatestVersion='0'.
• Always filter on a single value of Language. However, in SOQL, you can filter on more
than one Language if there is a filter on Id or KnowledgeArticleId.

NewsFeed • No SOQL limit if logged-in user has “View All Data” permission. If not, specify a LIMIT clause
of 1,000 records or fewer.
• SOQL ORDER BY on fields using relationships is not available. Use ORDER BY on fields on
the root object in the SOQL query.

RecentlyViewed The RecentlyViewed object is updated every time the logged-in user views or references a
record. It is also updated when records are retrieved using the FOR VIEW or FOR
REFERENCE clause in a SOQL query. To ensure that the most recent data is available,
RecentlyViewed data is periodically truncated down to 200 records per object.

TopicAssignment No SOQL limit if logged-in user has “View All Data” permission. If not, do one of the following:
• Specify a LIMIT clause of 1,100 records or fewer.
• Filter on Id or Entity when using a WHERE clause with "=".

UserRecordAccess • Always use the query formats specified in the SOAP API Developer's Guide.
• May include an ORDER BY clause. You must ORDER BY HasAccess if you SELECT
HasAccess, and ORDER BY MaxAccessLevel if you SELECT
MaxAccessLevel.
• Maximum number of records that can be queried is 200.

UserProfileFeed • No SOQL limit if logged-in user has “View All Data” permission. If not, specify a LIMIT clause
of 1,000 records or fewer.
• SOQL ORDER BY on fields using relationships is not available. Use ORDER BY on fields on
the root object in the SOQL query.
Also, a SOQL query must include WITH UserId = {userId].
