# Object limits

Object limits are restrictions on the number or size of objects in Pinecone. They vary based on [pricing plan](https://www.pinecone.io/pricing/).

| Metric                                 | Starter plan | Builder plan | Standard plan | Enterprise plan |
| :------------------------------------- | :----------- | :----------- | :------------ | :-------------- |
| Projects per organization              | 1            | 5            | 20            | 100             |
| Users per organization                 | 2            | 5            | Unlimited     | Unlimited       |
| Serverless indexes per project :sup[1] | 5            | 10           | 20            | 200             |
| Serverless index storage per org       | 2 GB         | 10 GB        | N/A           | N/A             |
| Namespaces per serverless index        | 100          | 1,000        | 100,000       | 1,000,000       |
| Serverless backups per project         | N/A          | N/A          | 500           | 1,000           |
| Collections per project                | 100          | N/A          | N/A           | N/A             |

:sup[1 On the Starter plan, all serverless indexes must be in the `us-east-1` region of AWS. Builder, Standard, and Enterprise plans can create indexes in any supported region(/guides/index-data/create-an-index#cloud-regions).]

When you exceed an object limit, API operations return a `403 - QUOTA_EXCEEDED`. [Upgrade your plan](/guides/admin-assistant-upgrade-billing-plan) to increase the limit. If a higher plan still doesn't cover what you need, [contact Support](https://app.pinecone.io/organizations/-/settings/support/ticket) with details about your use case, since most object limits can be raised on request.

Request failed. You've reached the max projects allowed in organization <org name>.
To add more projects, upgrade your plan.

For the serverless storage limit, you can also [delete records](/guides/manage-data-delete-data) to get back under it.

:::callout{intent="tip"}
To stay under the serverless index limit, use [namespaces](/guides/index-data-create-an-index#namespaces) to partition data within a single index instead of creating multiple indexes. This can also improve query performance and lower costs by limiting searches to relevant data subsets.
:::

:::callout{intent="note"}
[Namespaces per serverless index](/guides/apis-database-limits-object-limits) vary by plan (100 on Starter to 1,000,000 on Enterprise). Pinecone can accommodate more for specific use cases. If your application needs a higher limit, [contact Support](https://app.pinecone.io/organizations/-/settings/support/ticket).
