What is the runtime limit for Automations?

You can run each Automation as many times as you like. However, our plans have different total daily Automation runtime limits. You can check the applicable limit for each plan here. The Free plan is limited to 100 records per day and will only process 1 record at a time.

The daily total runtime limit resets every day at 12AM UTC.

Daily runtime limits are hardly ever a limiting factor in real-world usage, as runs are generally very fast and can therefore process many records in a short amount of time.

This limit is only applicable for Automations that update records in Airtable in bulk. So any Automations that are not 'run' as such are not affected by the runtime limit, e.g.:

  • Bulk download attachment

  • CSV exporter

  • RSS Feed from Airtable data

  • Permanent Public URLs for Attachments

  • Integrate Stripe with Airtable

  • etc.

All paid plans let you process an unlimited amount of records.
