Session Limits

EstimateQuest enforces limits to maintain performance and prevent abuse.

Session Limits

Limit	Value
Max players per session	50
Max tickets per session	100
Session name length	100 characters
Player name length	50 characters
Ticket title length	200 characters
Ticket description length	500 characters
Ticket URL length	500 characters
Avatar seed length	100 characters
Vote value length	20 characters

Session Retention

Rule	Threshold
Stale active session	Closed after 6 hours with no player heartbeat
Inactive session purge	Deleted after 8 hours since last activity

Purging deletes the session and all associated data — players, tickets, votes, group estimates. This is irreversible.

Export early

If you need the session data, export the CSV from the recap page before the 8-hour retention window expires.

Rate Limits

Rate limits prevent abuse and ensure fair usage for all users.

Action	Window	Max Requests
Create session	60 seconds	50
Join session	60 seconds	50
Cast vote	10 seconds	10
Heartbeat	10 seconds	5
Create ticket	60 seconds	30
Save all tickets	60 seconds	5
Public HTTP API	60 seconds	100

Under normal usage, you’ll never encounter these limits. They primarily prevent automated abuse.
