Use this guide to understand Cloud Firestore limits, and see Cloud Firestore Pricing for a full, detailed explanation of Cloud Firestore costs, including things to watch out for.
Monitor your usage
To monitor your Cloud Firestore usage, open the Cloud Firestore Usage tab in the Firebase console. Use the dashboard to gauge your usage over different time periods.
Detailed usage in the Google Cloud console
When you create a Firebase project, you're also creating a Google Cloud project. The Cloud Firestore API Quotas and App Engine Quotas pages in the Google Cloud console track Cloud Firestore usage and quota information.
Free quota
Cloud Firestore offers free quota that allows you to get started with
your (default)
database at no cost. The free quota amounts are listed below.
If you need more quota, you must enable billing for your Google Cloud project.
Quotas are applied daily and reset around midnight Pacific time.
Only the (default)
database qualifies for the free quota.
Free tier | Quota |
---|---|
Stored data | 1 GiB |
Document reads | 50,000 per day |
Document writes | 20,000 per day |
Document deletes | 20,000 per day |
Outbound data transfer | 10 GiB per month |
The following operations and features do not include free usage. You must enable billing to use these features:
- Usage of named (non-default) databases
- TTL deletes
- PITR data
- Backup data
- Restore operations
For more information about how these features are billed, see Storage pricing.
Standard limits
The following tables show the limits that apply to Cloud Firestore. These are hard limits unless otherwise noted.
Databases
Limit | Details |
---|---|
Maximum number of databases per project |
100 You can contact support to request an increase to this limit. |
Collections, documents, and fields
Limit | Details |
---|---|
Constraints on collection IDs |
|
Maximum depth of subcollections | 100 |
Constraints on document IDs |
|
Maximum size for a document name | 6 KiB |
Maximum size for a document | 1 MiB (1,048,576 bytes) |
Constraints on field names |
|
Maximum size of a field name | 1,500 bytes |
Constraints on field paths |
` ). For example, foo.`x&y` refers to the x&y field nested under the foo field. To construct a field name with the backtick character, escape the backtick character with the backslash character (\ ). For convenience, you can avoid quoted field names by passing the field path as a FieldPath object (for example, see JavaScript FieldPath).
|
Maximum size of a field path | 1,500 bytes |
Maximum size of a field value | 1 MiB - 89 bytes (1,048,487 bytes) |
Maximum depth of fields in a map or array | 20 Map and array fields add one level to the overall depth of an object. For example, the following object has a total depth of three levels:
|
Writes and transactions
In addition to these limits, you should also see the best practices for designing for scale.
Limit | Details |
---|---|
Maximum API request size | 10 MiB |
Time limit for a transaction | 270 seconds, with a 60-second idle expiration time |
Maximum number of field transformations that can be performed on a
single document in a Commit operation or in a
transaction |
500 |
Indexes
The following limits apply to single-field indexes and composite indexes:
Limit | Details |
---|---|
Maximum number of composite indexes for a database |
|
Maximum number of single-field configurations for a database |
One field level configuration can contain multiple configurations for the same field. For example, a single-field indexing exemption and a TTL policy on the same field count as one field configuration towards the limit. |
Maximum number of index entries for each document |
40,000 The number of index entries is the sum of the following for a document:
To see how Cloud Firestore turns a document and a set of indexes into index entries, see this index entry count example. |
Maximum number of fields in a composite index | 100 |
Maximum size of an index entry |
7.5 KiB To see how Cloud Firestore calculates index entry size, see index entry size. |
Maximum sum of the sizes of a document's index entries |
8 MiB The total size is the sum of the following for a document: |
Maximum size of an indexed field value |
1500 bytes Field values over 1500 bytes are truncated. Queries involving truncated field values may return inconsistent results. |
Time-to-live (TTL)
Limit | Details |
---|---|
Maximum number of single-field configurations for a database |
One field level configuration can contain multiple configurations for the same field. For example, a single-field indexing exemption and a TTL policy on the same field count as one field configuration towards the limit. |
Export/Import
The following limits apply to managed import and export operations:
Limit | Details |
---|---|
Maximum total number of both export and import requests for a project allowed per minute | 20 |
Maximum number of concurrent exports and imports | 50 |
Maximum number of collection ID filters for export and import requests | 100 |
Security rules
Limit | Details |
---|---|
Maximum number of exists() , get() , and getAfter() calls per request |
Exceeding either limit results in a permission denied error. Some document access calls may be cached, and cached calls do not count towards the limits. |
Maximum nested match statement depth |
10 |
Maximum path length, in path segments, allowed within a set of nested
match statements |
100 |
Maximum number of path capture variables allowed within a set of
nested match statements |
20 |
Maximum function call depth | 20 |
Maximum number of function arguments | 7 |
Maximum number of let variable bindings per function |
10 |
Maximum number of recursive or cyclical function calls | 0 (not permitted) |
Maximum number of expressions evaluated per request | 1,000 |
Maximum size of a ruleset | Rulesets must obey two size limits:

Manage spending
To help avoid unexpected charges on your bill, set monthly budgets and alerts.
Set a monthly budget
To track your Cloud Firestore costs, create a monthly budget in the Google Cloud console. Budgets won't limit your usage, but you can set alerts to notify you when you're approaching or exceeding your planned costs for the month.
To set a budget, go to the Billing section in the Google Cloud console and create a budget for your Cloud Billing account. You can use the default alert settings or modify the alerts to send notifications at different percentages of your monthly budget.
