Limits

Limits are the same for everyone and there is no billing involved.

What Limit
Webhooks per community (not deleted) 10
Sends per webhook 5 every 2 seconds and 30 per minute
Sends per channel (all webhooks combined) 60 per minute
Request body 16 KB

Over the rate? The response is 429 with rate_limited. The body carries retry_after, in seconds with decimals, and the Retry-After header carries the same value rounded up. Wait that long and send again.

PATCH and DELETE on messages also use up the rate.

What Limit If it’s over
text 2,000 characters Rejected (payload_invalid)
Request body 16 KB Rejected (payload_too_large)
key 128 visible ASCII characters, no spaces Rejected (payload_invalid)
card.title 256 characters Cut with “…”
card.body 1,000 characters Cut with “…”
card.fields 6 fields The extra ones are ignored
Field name 64 characters Cut with “…”
Field value 256 characters Cut with “…”
card.url 512 characters, http:// or https:// The link is dropped
username 32 characters Cut with “…”

In every format, card text over its limit is cut. Only the message text is rejected when it goes past 2,000 characters, because cutting it would change what you wrote.

The flattened text that older apps and search read (the card’s title, body, fields and link) fits in 2,000 characters and is cut with “…”.

The app keeps each webhook’s last 20 deliveries, for up to 7 days, with the first 4 KB of the body that arrived. You can see them in the webhook’s detail view, under Latest deliveries.
