# Limits

Krates is a Free to use service, and I intend it to keep it so. But being a free service we need to have some limitations to avoid abuse.

• Maximum allowed payload size cannot be more than 100 Kb per request.
• POST , PUT and DELETE requests are rate-limited to 20 per minute per IP address.
• There is no limit on the number of records you store in a box, but please don't abuse the API by storing large datasets of more than 5000 records. This is meant for small projects and that's why it is offered FREE of cost.
• No Backup If your data is lost due to some technical issues, its lost forever.
