Why place a 300 active task limit? Why cap projects to 500? These limits ensure Todoist stays fast, stable, and reliable for everyone. Having too many active tasks in a single project can slow syncing down and increase the risk of performance issues. It applies to all plans, including Todoist Pro and Business, so there's no option to increase these limits. That said, we're working to make our sync engine faster, so we can increase these limits.
Personal limits
These limits differ depending on whether you're on the Beginner plan or a paid plan:
| Feature | Beginner limit | Pro limit |
|---|---|---|
| Active personal projects | 5 | 300 |
| People per personal project | 5 | 5 |
| Filters | 3 | 150 |
| Reminders | 700 | 700 |
| Activity history | 1 week | Unlimited |
| File size for email attachments | 5 MB | 25 MB |

If you’re often hitting these limits, one helpful approach is to split large projects into smaller ones and use sections to organize tasks by topic (for example: “Movies,” “Budget,” “Household,” or “Gift Ideas”). This keeps Todoist performing at its best and also makes projects easier to navigate and maintain. ✨
Team limits
These limits differ depending on whether your team is on the Free plan or the Business plan:
| Feature | Starter limit | Business limit |
|---|---|---|
| Active team projects | 5 | Up to 500 |
| People per team project | 250 | 250 |
| People per team workspace | 1000 (including max. 5 guests) | 1000 (including guests) |
| Team activity history | 1 week | Unlimited |
| File size for comment attachments | 5 MB | 100 MB |

There are no limits to the number of paid teams you can create, and you can join as many teams as you want. However, you can only create one free Todoist team at a time. Learn more in this guide to Todoist teams.
