Capacity and Limits

Capacity limits and usage restrictions for Knowledge Studio features

Knowledge Studio enforces capacity limits and format constraints across business spaces, knowledge bases, file uploads, chunking, retrieval services, and other components. The following sections detail these limits by workflow stage. If you exceed any limit, you can submit a support ticket to request a quota increase.

Spaces and Knowledge Bases

A business space is the top-level container for resource isolation. Each space can host multiple knowledge bases.
ItemLimitNotes
Business spaces per account30The primary account’s space is marked as default
Knowledge bases per business space50Quota increase available via support ticket
Knowledge base name length1–20 charactersMust be unique within the business space
Knowledge base description length200 characters
Documents per knowledge base100,000Consider splitting the knowledge base if exceeding this

File Uploads

Knowledge bases support various file types—including documents, spreadsheets, images, audio, and video—each subject to distinct format and size constraints.

Documents and Text

TypeFormatPer-file limit
Documents.doc / .docx / .ppt / .pptx / .pdf150 MB or 1,000 pages
Plain text.md / .txt / .htmlRecommended ≤ 10 MB
Spreadsheets.xls / .xlsxRecommended ≤ 10 MB and ≤ 100,000 rows
PDFs undergo direct text extraction; scanned PDFs are automatically processed with OCR. Spreadsheets are chunked row-by-row, with the first row used as column headers. Markdown files are split by heading level; HTML files have <script> and <style> tags automatically stripped.

Images

ItemLimit
Formats.png / .jpg / .jpeg / .bmp / .gif
Single image size≤ 20 MB
Dimension constraintsShortest side > 15 px; longest side < 8192 px; aspect ratio < 50

Audio and Video

ItemLimit
Audio formats.aac / .amr / .flac / .flv / .m4a / .mp3 / .mpeg / .ogg / .opus / .wav / .webm / .wma
Video formats.mp4 / .mkv / .avi / .mov / .wmv
Single file size≤ 512 MB
Max import count per batch50 (combined total of audio and video files)

General Upload Limits

ItemLimit
Files per upload50

Chunking

Chunks serve as the fundamental retrieval units in a knowledge base. Chunking strategies and segment lengths are configured during data import.
ItemRangeDefault
Maximum segment length10–6000 tokens600 tokens
Chunk content length0–6000 charactersApplies when manually adding chunks
Chunk title length0–50 charactersUsed for display in chunk lists
Chunking method (e.g., intelligent splitting, fixed-length, page-based, heading-based, regex-based, or symbol-based) and maximum segment length are configured during data import and cannot be modified after creation.

Knowledge Retrieval and Q&A Services

Retrieval and Q&A services constitute the external API endpoints for knowledge bases. The following limits are set when creating a service.
ItemRangeDefault
Knowledge bases per serviceUp to 15
Service nameMax 40 charactersRequired
Service descriptionMax 200 charactersOptional
Q&A prompt templateMax 500 charactersOptional
Initial vector search TopK1–100100
Initial keyword search TopK1–100100
Similarity threshold0.01–1.0
Max recall count1–205
Tag lengthMax 32 characters per tagPress Enter to confirm input

Connectors

Connectors enable importing files from external data sources into knowledge bases.
ItemLimitNotes
