Bubble 'At Its Limit for Number of Things in the Database'

Workaround available Web Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

The Free plan allows only 200 database entries combined across development and live. Delete unneeded entries in both databases to get under 200, or upgrade to a paid plan, which removes the limit.

Most likely fix: Delete entries in both databases.

Symptoms

Editor shows 'This application is at its limit for number of Things in the database'; new entries won't save; limit emails.

Why it happens

  • Free plan's 200-entry cap across dev and live combined
  • Test data piling up in the live database
  • Editor or browser cache showing a stale error

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Delete entries in both databases

    1. Go to Data > App data
    2. Count entries in the Development database, then switch to Live
    3. Delete unneeded entries until the combined total is 200 or fewer

  2. 2. Clear browser state

    2. Try a private window or another browser with extensions off

  3. 3. Upgrade
