Quotas and Limits

The EMQX Platform sets default quotas (or limits) for each deployment and the default value of some of the quotas can be adjusted. The following tables show the default value of the quotas in different deployments and whether they can be adjusted. If you need to adjust the quotas, please contact us.

[1] It is recommended to use external authentication if the credentials are more than 100,000.
[2] It is recommended to use external authentication if the credentials are more than 100,000.
[3] The number can be adjusted to the same as the session tier.
[4] The maximum size can be adjusted to 10 MB. Due to deployment bandwidth limitations, the maximum TPS will be affected. In the case of transmitting 10 MB-sized MQTT messages, the TPS of the deployed will shrink to 100/s.
