# Document limit reached

What happens when your plan's document limit pauses syncing, and how to free space or upgrade to resume.

When a sync reports **"You've reached your plan's document limit"**, the
connection is healthy and nothing failed at the provider. Your corpus is simply
at the maximum number of documents your plan allows, so importing paused rather
than dropping content silently.

## What the limit covers [#what-the-limit-covers]

The limit counts documents stored in your corpus across all sources: connector
syncs, uploads, and documents pushed through the API. It exists to keep
indexing and search costs predictable; it is a per-workspace allowance, not a
per-connector one.

## How to resume syncing [#how-to-resume-syncing]

Do either of the following:

- **Free space.** Delete documents you no longer need, or disconnect a source
  whose content you do not want indexed. Deleting a document removes it from
  the index immediately.
- **Upgrade your plan or add seats.** The allowance is set per seat, and
  higher plans allow more documents per seat.

No manual restart is needed afterwards: the next scheduled sync detects the
freed capacity and resumes where it left off. You can also trigger a sync
manually from the connector's card once space is available.

## What happens to documents that did not fit [#what-happens-to-documents-that-did-not-fit]

Nothing is lost at the source; the provider remains the system of record.
Documents that could not be imported are picked up by the next successful sync
once capacity allows.
