Quota errors

When you exceed a quota, errors will appear in the backend logs and client-side messages in the WebSocket connection.

  • Logs: check the Realtime logs inside your project Dashboard.
  • Websocket errors: Use your browser's developer tools to find the WebSocket initiation request and view individual messages.

Some quotas can cause a Channel join to be refused. Realtime will reply with one of the following WebSocket messages:

too_many_channels

Too many channels currently joined for a single client.

too_many_connections

Too many total concurrent connections for a project.

too_many_joins

Too many Channel joins per second.

tenant_events

Clients will be disconnected if your project is generating too many messages per second. supabase-js will reconnect automatically when the message throughput decreases below your plan quota. An event is a WebSocket message delivered to, or sent from a client.

Postgres changes payload quota

When this quota is reached, the new and old record payloads only include the fields with a value size of less than or equal to 64 bytes.
