Capacity & limits
How Lorito measures the size of your knowledge base against your plan, and what the capacity bar on the Knowledge page tells you.
Each plan includes a set amount of knowledge capacity. Lorito shows where you stand against it so you always know how much room is left before you need to remove content or move to a larger plan.
The capacity bar
At the top of the Knowledge page is a capacity bar. It shows how much of your knowledge capacity is in use as a percentage.
- Under the warning threshold, it simply reports how full your knowledge base is.
- As you approach the ceiling, the bar changes colour and prompts you to remove some content or move to a plan with more room.
The bar measures the total indexed content across all sources in the project, not the number of sources. A site with many long pages uses more capacity than a handful of short ones.
The capacity bar is informational. It tells you how full you are; the actual limit is applied when content is indexed.
What counts toward capacity
Everything that gets indexed counts: the pages of your websites, the text extracted from your PDFs, and the text and markdown you paste. Content that is ignored or skipped during indexing — pages with too little text, for example — doesn't take up meaningful space.
When you remove a source or an individual item, its indexed content is deleted and that capacity is freed.
Limits on sources and items
Beyond total capacity, parts of the knowledge base are subject to your plan's limits, including:
- How many sources a project can hold.
- How many pages a single website indexes.
- How large a single PDF or text source can be.
When you reach one of these limits, Lorito tells you at the point you hit it — when discovering a website, uploading a PDF, or pasting text — rather than failing silently. For example, if a website has more indexable pages than your plan covers, Lorito indexes up to the limit and notes how many pages that is. If a PDF or text source is longer than your plan allows, Lorito indexes as much as it can and shows you how much was included.
Lorito never quietly drops content. Whenever a limit applies, it indexes what fits and tells you exactly what was and wasn't included, so you can decide what to do next.
Staying within your limits
If you're running low on capacity or hitting a limit, you can:
- Remove content you don't need. Trim low-value pages or whole sources to free up room. You can exclude sections of a website when you add or re-scrape it, or remove individual items from the source list.
- Be selective when adding a website. Use the page limit and path exclusions in the Add website flow so you only index the pages that matter. See Adding sources.
- Move to a larger plan for more capacity and higher limits.
For the specific limits included with each plan, see your plan's details in billing.
Next steps
- Adding sources — control what gets indexed as you add it.
- How indexing works — what's indexed and what's ignored.
- Re-scraping a website — refresh a site without bloating your knowledge base.
