Current documented limits
| Constraint | Current value | Scope | Verified source |
|---|---|---|---|
| maximum request timeoutThe configured request timeout can be lower than the platform maximum. | 60 minutes | Cloud Run services | Google CloudAug 22, 2026 |
| HTTP/1 payload ceilingThe request limit does not apply to HTTP/2 servers, and streaming changes response behavior. | 32 MiB request; 32 MiB non-streamed response | HTTP/1 services | Google CloudAug 22, 2026 |
| maximum instance memoryThe writable in-memory filesystem also consumes instance memory. | 32 GiB | Per container instance | Google CloudAug 22, 2026 |
| maximum requests per instanceThe console default is lower, and the application must safely support parallel requests. | 1,000 concurrent requests | Cloud Run services | Google CloudAug 22, 2026 |
| maximum task timeoutA single job execution can contain up to 10,000 tasks with separate retry controls. | 168 hours; 1 hour with GPUs | Cloud Run jobs | Google CloudAug 22, 2026 |
How to apply Google Cloud Run limits safely
The monitored baseline covers maximum request timeout, HTTP/1 payload ceiling, maximum instance memory, maximum requests per instance, maximum task timeout. Treat these as separate constraints rather than one platform-wide capacity number: a workload can fit one row and still fail another because the plan, model, endpoint, runtime, region, invocation mode, or account scope differs.
- Match the production workload to the exact scope printed beside each value and confirm it in the active Google Cloud Run console, configuration, or response headers.
- Measure the serialized request, token volume, duration, concurrency, storage, or connection demand at realistic percentiles, then preserve headroom for bursts and retries.
- Check every adjacent layer—client, SDK, gateway, proxy, queue, database, and downstream service—for a smaller effective limit before changing architecture.
