# Usage limits for automations

A few default usage limits are set for automations for each [organisation](/communities-and-organisations.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
As automations are still in beta phase, these limits might be subject to modification.
{% endhint %}

## Maximum number of scenarios

A limit is set on the number of scenarios in `PAUSED` or `ACTIVE` states. The default is 100 for each organisation. This limit is checked upon `POST /v1/scenarios` requests, i.e. when creating scenarios. When the limit is reached the request will hit a `403` HTTP reply.

## Maximum number of active scenarios

A limit is set on the number of scenarios with `ACTIVE` status. The default is 20 for each organisation. This limit is checked upon `PUT /v1/scenarios/:scenario_id` request with `ACTIVE` status, i.e. when activating scenarios. When the limit is reached the request will hit a `403` HTTP reply.

## Maximum number of nodes per scenario

A limit is set on the number of scenarios in `PAUSED` or `ACTIVE` states. The default is 20 for each scenario. This limit is checked upon `PUT /v1/scenarios/:scenario_id` request with `ACTIVE` status, i.e. when activating scenarios. When the limit is reached the request will hit a `403` HTTP reply.

## Limits related to wait nodes

There are two limit related to wait nodes:

* **Maximum number of wait nodes in active scenarios.** The default is 20 for each organisation. This limit is checked upon `PUT /v1/scenarios/:scenario_id` request with `ACTIVE` status, i.e. when activating scenarios. When the limit is reached the request will hit a `403` HTTP reply.
* **Indicative maximum number of UserPoint awaken per wait node per hour.** The Service Level Objective is 50 000. If over 50 000 users will go through your wait node hourly, some users might not be awaken in a timely fashion.
