Limits

The following limits apply to all Lit Action executions on Chipotle. They are designed to keep the network stable and fair for all users while covering the vast majority of real-world use cases.

​
Code & Upload

LimitDefault
Maximum action code size (inline)256 KB
Maximum IPFS action size512 KB
Maximum js_params payload64 KB
Action code submitted inline via the API or Dashboard must not exceed 256 KB. For larger actions, upload your code to IPFS and submit the CID instead — the IPFS limit is 512 KB. If your action requires large static data, consider fetching it at runtime via fetch rather than bundling it into the action itself.

​
Execution

LimitDefault
Maximum execution time30 seconds
Maximum memory128 MB
Maximum outbound HTTP requests per action10
Maximum response payload size1 MB
Actions that exceed the execution time limit are terminated and return a timeout error. Long-running workflows should be broken into smaller actions or offload heavy computation to an external service and fetch the result.

​
Rate Limits

LimitDefault
Requests per minute (per usage key)60
Requests per minute (per account)120
Concurrent executions (per account)10
Rate limits apply per API key. If you need higher throughput, creating additional usage keys does not increase your account-level limit — contact us to discuss your requirements.

Need Higher Limits?

The defaults above are suitable for most development and production workloads. If your use case requires higher limits — more throughput, longer execution time, larger payloads, or increased concurrency — we’re happy to discuss it. Reach out through any of the following: When you reach out, include a brief description of your use case and the specific limits you need — this helps us respond quickly with the right configuration for your account.
