Limitations & Throttling

Tape applies limits to all executed workflow automations regarding utilized computation power and time.

Limitations for individual worflow automation runs

  • The maximum time a flow can run is currently 3 minutes
  • Maximum number of actions consumed for a single run: 1000 (One thousand)
  • Memory & CPU limitations apply
  • There is a limit for parallel async operations (avoid heavy parallel HTTP operations and perform them sequentally instead)

Flows that exceed any of the above limits fail with a proper error message. Split your work into multiple flows or avoid heavy computations, e.g. for large amounts of records.

Throttling

Throttling per organization may be applied if an organization performs excessive action usage during a short period of time. The throttling will be lifted after 5 minutes and will be indicated by a yellow "THROTTLED" status for scheduled workflow automations in the runs overview and individual workflow runs sidebar.

Throttling affects the whole organization and will lead to temporary delays and scheduled flows.
