Team Issue limits

Overview

If you have received a warning about the amount of issues in one of the teams on your workspace, you may have exceeded or neared the issue quota permitted per team.

In order to deliver the best performance and speed that Linear is known for, individual teams on workspaces are limited to 25,000 issues.

Issues created through integrations or the API will be prevented from creating more issues on the affected team if it exceeds this limit.

Recommended next steps

To reduce the amount of issues per team on your workspaces, we recommend the following:

  • Delete older issues no longer needed
  • Move issues into other teams so they are distributed
  • Configure your issues to be auto-archived earlier

If you have any questions or need guidance with the team issue limit, please don't hesitate to contact us.

FAQ

You can only manually delete issues. Issues are archived depending on the archiving automations set in team workflow settings. You can also move issues to other teams to keep under the limit.

Teams that have greater than 25,000 issues may be subjected to degraded performance. We believe that 25,000 active issues per team is a generous allowance and will enable your workspace to have optimal performance and speed.
Archived issues are not counted towards this limit.

They may be created by a bot user or integration added to your workspace. If you need assistance with finding the source, please reach out.

Only members of the affected team in the workspace will see it. It can be dismissed and will only return if you hit the limit again in future. Admins will be informed via email if applicable.
