SashiDo doesn't cap the number of requests your app serves: capacity comes from the [engine and instances](/en/docs/developers/performance#engine-and-instances) you run. These are the limits that do exist, and what to do when you reach one.

## Your app's Parse Server

| | Limit | When you reach it |
|---|---|---|
| Request duration | 60 seconds | Move long work to a [background job](/en/docs/developers/cloud-code#background-jobs) |
| File upload | 20 MB per file | Resize or compress on the client; split large data |
| Query results | 100 objects unless you set `limit` | Set `limit`, and page by `createdAt` rather than `skip` |
| Live Queries | Only the classes enabled in **App Settings › Live Queries** | Enable the class; for more than one instance, ask for Redis ([Live Queries](/en/docs/developers/live-queries#several-instances)) |
| Instances | Your plan's scaling limits (`engine_scaling_config` in `GET /users/info`); with high availability at least 3 | Contact support for higher limits |

## Management API and access tokens

| | Limit |
|---|---|
| Requests | 600 per minute per token; above it `429` with `Retry-After` |
| Request body | 300 KB of JSON |
| Tokens | 50 active per account; a token can be limited to up to 100 apps |
| Build log | The last 1,000 lines per request (default 300) |
| Deployments list | 50 per request (default 10) |
| Activity (audit log) | 100 per page (default 50) |

## The Parse proxy

Calls to your data through `/apps/{id}/parse/...` with a token:

| | Limit |
|---|---|
| Duration | 30 seconds per request |
| Response | 10 MB; narrow it with `limit` and `keys` |
| File upload | 10 MB |
| `batch` | 1 to 50 writes |

## How long things are kept

| | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Activity (audit log) | 1 year; security events 3 years (logins, password changes, tokens, collaborators, deleted apps, revoked sessions, refused access, reads of your users) |
| Build logs | With the build in **Runtime › Builds** |
| Database backups | See **Automatic Database Backups › List** in the dashboard |
