New Relic places limits on the amount and rate of data that accounts can store and report. If your account, whether by configuration or error, passes one of these limits (unless your contract specifies a higher limit), it, or any of your user accounts or sub-accounts, may experience one or both of the following:
- Sampling of data
- Temporary pause or cessation of data collection
New Relic reserves the right to enact these policies to prevent data usage spikes from impacting other accounts.
The table below shows the default account-level data-usage limits.
