| Max. payload size (POST to Automation) | 64 KB | - |
| Max. incoming events | Max. 20/second rate limit. Max. 1000 in queue. |
- |
| JOBS (AUTOMATION EXECUTIONS) | - | - |

| Max. job duration | See table below | Depends on execution context |
| Max. memory consumption of an Automation | 256 MB | Automations use iterators to process large amounts of data (e.g. millions of records). The memory limit is not reached in normal circumstances. |
| Failed job alert emails | Max. 5/day per Automation | Sent to Admin users of the tenant. |
| API call timeout | 60 seconds | Note that paging is used. This limit applies to a single outbound API call. |
| Call URL block timeout | User configurable (e.g. 600 seconds) | Max. timeout is defined by max. Automation execution time. |
| Custom code block max. execution time | 3600 seconds | - |
| JOB LOGS (HISTORY) | - | - |
| Max. number of job logs | 5000 per Automation Max. 500MB per Automation |
Oldest jobs will be deleted if limits are exceeded. |
| Job log retention | Qlik Cloud: 30 days OEM environment: 90 days (default) |
Customisable on OEM environment, not on Qlik Cloud. |
| Realtime Automations | No job logs | Realtime Automations do not have job logs. |
| Max. size of one job log | 100MB | Job log will be truncated if larger |
| Max. size of the state of one Block in a job log | 1MB per block execution 5MB per block in total (across all executions of the block in the job) Max. 200 items are stored for a list. |
State will be truncated if larger |
| API | - | - |
| Maximum API calls | 300 calls/minute rate limit per tenant | This includes calls to the SaaS API, executing Triggered Automations via their API URL etc. |
| AUTOMATION BUILDING BLOCKS | - | - |
| Custom code | Supported languages: PHP, JS, Python | Package/library install or import not supported. |
| Variable blocks | Variables are stored in memory (see Automation memory limit) | To persist data or to process large amounts of data: Qlik Cloud: use a database or cloud storage OEM environment: use Data Store or CDP |
| List blocks (Filter list, compare list) | Full list loaded in memory (see Automation memory limit) | Use loops to process large lists, loops use iterators and avoid loading all items in memory at once. |
| CDP AND DATA STORE | - | - |
| Maximum records | CDP: 400K records per tenant (sum of all tables) Data Store: 400K records per tenant (sum of all Data Stores) |
CDP and Data Store are available on the OEM environment, not on Qlik Cloud. |
| CONNECTORS | - | - |
| Available connectors | Qlik Cloud: 30+ connectors OEM environment: 500+ connectors |
- |
Maximum Automation job duration (execution time)
Execution times.
| Automation execution context | Max. execution time |
|---|---|

| Triggered Automation (via API URL) | Non-Realtime (default): Async=false: 1 minute Async=true: 1 hour on Qlik Cloud, 48 hours on OEM environment Real-time (never Async): 1 minute |
| SaaS API | Same as above |
| Webhooks | 15 minutes |
| Schedule | Qlik Cloud: 1 hour OEM environment: 48 hours |
