Quotas & Limits
OmniCore limits resource allocation and use and enforces appropriate quotas on a per-tenant basis. Specific policies vary depending on resource availability, user profile, service usage history, and other factors, and are subject to change without notice.
Limits
This section lists the quotas for OmniCore in three categories: tenant/device/telemetry, rate, and time.
Tenant, device, and telemetry limits

| Device registries per project, per region | 100 | Yes |
| Devices bound to a gateway | 10,000 | Yes |
| Devices attached to a gateway | 10,000 | Yes |
| Gateways bound to a device | 10 | No |

| Combined size of metadata key-value pairs | 256 KB | No |
| Credentials per device | 3 | No |
| Configuration versions per device | 10 | No |
| Device configuration data | 64 KB | No |

Quota enforcement
The consequences of exceeding quota are different for tenants and resources, such as a registries and devices:
- tenant exceeds quota: tenant is blocked until usage is back under the limit. In rare cases, a quota enforcement period can continue even when your usage is no longer over the limit. If your tenant is still being blocked even though you're no longer exceeding any quotas, wait a while and try again.
- Device using the TCP bridge exceeds quota: Device is disconnected.
For example, if you attempt to update a device's configuration more than once per second over the TCP/UDP bridge, OmniCore disconnects the device. To fix the problem, ensure you publish device configurations no more than once per second, ideally once per 10 seconds, then reconnect the device. See Configuring Devices for more information.
