Platform Limits
Check Mappinest upload limits, hosted storage allowances, tile validation limits, and API request behavior.
Use this page as the quick reference for limits that affect uploads, hosted storage, tile delivery, and API access.
Hosted storage limits
See Storage usage for how the console reports current usage against these allowances.
Upload limits
The console currently accepts MBTiles and PMTiles uploads. See Upload Data for accepted file types and the upload workflow.
Tile complexity limits
New tileset uploads are checked for tile weight and rendering complexity before they are published through the Tiles API.
Vector tilesets
Raster tilesets
Any single tile above 5 MB is outside the standard upload limits. These limits apply to new uploads and replacements.

Monthly API usage limits
Free and Flex usage is monitored against the monthly included quota. Track request volume in Usage so you can spot growth, campaign spikes, or incorrect integrations before they affect production traffic.
Rate limits & error handling
Separate from the monthly quotas above, API requests are rate limited per IP to keep the platform stable. When a limit is exceeded the API returns HTTP 429. See API Error Codes for the full list of responses.
Read the current limit from the API response headers — they always reflect the live limit for the API you are calling. If you require higher usage limits, please contact us.
