"Your application has reached its allocated capacity" email

I recently received the following email from Bubble:

We are sending this email to let you know that your application app_name_here has hit its maximum capacity usage for 13 minutes over the last 24 hours.

You can add more capacity to prevent your app from being rate-limited in the Editor. You can also analyse your application’s capacity usage and control the threshold for these automated email notifications in the Logs Tab.

What does this mean exactly? The app that it’s referring to isn’t being used publically yet, so there shouldn’t be any traffic going through.

Hello,

If your app is doing some data intensive workflows or searches rate-limiting can happen when you use the app as a tester. I recommend reading this post to understand better the capacity concept

Getting a lot of these today, is it me?

Hey @Bubbleboy, so if I’m understanding your concern, you’re worried that because you’re seeing brief periods of being maxed out while you’re still just developing your app and it’s just you with a little bit of test data, that means that it will be super-expensive to run your app at scale. Also, you’re wondering why you’re seeing this now and if anything has changed in the system. I totally understand why this would concern you; you don’t want to invest a bunch of time in something and then f…

We also just added a visualization tool to see where the capacity is going.

[New Feature] Server Capacity Analytics Chart

Hello, We just added a a new analytics tool under Logs section in the editor where you can view a detailed breakdown of your application’s demand in terms capacity. This new tool is particularly useful when trying to understand capacity usage amongst all aspects of your applications. You can now view breakdowns of Workflows, Page visits, Searches, App Version and Overall usage. Clicking on a section in the chart itself will redirect you to the area of the application for easy editing or provid…

Thank you, our app is currently on the legacy Team plan. Could that be another factor to maxing out our capacity since we’re on an old plan?

No it shouldn’t have any impact.
