Limits reference

A single place to find the limits that apply. Day-to-day context is in Limits & quotas.

Exports

  • Free: 15 successful exports per UTC calendar month and Jira site.
  • Standard: unlimited exports, subject to fair use.

Templates and fonts

  • Free: three custom templates and one uploaded custom-font family. Bundled templates and fonts do not count.
  • Standard: unlimited custom templates and custom-font families, subject to fair use.

Background jobs

Large result sets switch to background processing automatically — see Large exports & background jobs.

Category charts and Designer preview

  • A Category chart outputs at most 20 categories. Additional categories follow the component's Other or visible truncation setting.
  • A template can contain at most 30 Category charts.
  • A multi-issue Designer preview uses at most 50 issues. The exported document still uses the complete selected issue set, subject to the normal export and background-job limits.

Time series

Bucket intervalMaximum buckets
Day366
Week104
Month60

The limit applies after the inclusive range is divided into calendar buckets. Exportelier rejects an oversized configuration when the template is saved; it does not truncate the curve. A Time series contains 1–4 series. Weeks start on the component's explicit Monday/Sunday setting, and months are local calendar months rather than fixed 30-day periods.

Reports

Limits for the report builder. Every one of these is enforced on the server, and named in the exported document whenever it actually truncates data.

Jira searches running at once, per export2

Report exports run in the background. The finished document is deleted once downloaded and expires after 1 hour if it is not — see Data retention & GDPR.

Report exports and ordinary exports share one ceiling of 3 running jobs per person, so the number shown in the UI is the number that applies.

Dashboard import

Limits for importing a Jira dashboard. A dashboard above the analysis cap is never truncated silently: you choose which gadgets to import, and the rest are named in the report's completeness notice.

Dashboards listed per page in the picker25
Dashboard-name search length100 characters

An imported report is an ordinary report and inherits every report limit above.

Delivery

  • Email attachments are subject to size limits — see Email delivery.
  • Recipients per email target: 50, for BYO and Managed Mail alike. Larger distributions belong on a group address.
  • Email subject: 200 characters. Line breaks and other invisible control characters are removed before sending.
  • BYO email: recipients do not count toward the Managed Mail cap.
  • Managed Mail (current launch limit): exactly 500 recipients per Jira site and UTC calendar month. Each recipient counts. A send that would exceed the cap is rejected before the mail provider is called.
  • API requests: 60 per minute per token, counted in a fixed one-minute window. Replays of a request carrying the same Idempotency-Key do not count against it.
  • API token validity: 30, 90, 180 or 365 days, chosen when the token is generated (90 by default). There is no unlimited option; Rotate issues a new secret and restarts the period.
  • API token activity log: the 20 most recent triggered exports per token.

Audit window and retention

  • Free: the latest 30 days are visible and exportable. This Free window does not delete older entries.
  • Standard: physical retention is configurable from 30 to 730 days with a daily auto-purge.

After an upgrade, older entries may become visible and exportable again if the configured retention purge has not already removed them.

See Data retention & GDPR.
