Why am I getting an error message when trying to create more than 60 collection items in Webflow, even though I have the CMS Plan which has a limit of 2000? Are there others experiencing the same issue?
If you are encountering an error message when attempting to create more than 60 collection items in Webflow, even though you have the CMS Plan with a limit of 2000, there may be a possible explanation and solution for this issue. Here's what you need to know:
Plan limitations: While the CMS Plan does indeed provide a limit of 2000 collection items, there are certain restrictions on the number of items you can create per day or in a single operation. It's important to understand these limitations to avoid any errors.
Rate limits: Webflow has rate limits in place to prevent abuse and maintain server stability. These rate limits vary depending on the specific operation you are performing. For example, there is a limit of 60 items per operation when using the Webflow API to create or import collection items.
Error message: When you exceed the rate limits, you may encounter an error message indicating that you have reached the maximum allowed number of items for a particular operation. This can happen even if you are within your overall plan limit of 2000 collection items.
Solution: To address this issue, you can either wait for the rate limits to reset or reach out to Webflow support for assistance. Webflow support can provide further guidance on how to manage your collection items within the defined rate limits.
Common experience: It's possible that other users have experienced the same issue if they have exceeded the rate limits when working with collection items. However, it's essential to consider the specific circumstances and ensure that you are not encountering any other technical issues or limitations specific to your account.
In summary, if you receive an error message when trying to create more than 60 collection items in Webflow, despite having the CMS Plan with a limit of 2000, it is likely due to rate limits imposed by Webflow to maintain server stability. Understanding these limitations and reaching out to Webflow support can help you resolve this issue.
