Why does this limit matter?
High-volume autocapture can consume the allowance with low-value events before key product events arrive.
This value is scoped to Cloud free tier; a different plan, runtime, model, endpoint, region, or account can produce a different effective constraint.
What should you check?
- Break ingestion down by event name, environment, bot traffic, and project.
- Confirm the exact plan, model, runtime, endpoint, region, and account that serve the failing workload.
- Record the observed value, response headers or configuration, timestamp, and source without logging secrets.
Important caveats
- Each PostHog product has a separate free tier and billing meter.
- Treat the official source and live account configuration as authoritative if they differ from this verified snapshot.
HyperObserve reports the documented platform constraint. Your application, SDK, gateway, provider, region, or account can impose a lower effective limit.
