Limits#
| Metric | Limit |
|---|---|
Max top_k value | 10,000 |
| Max result size | 4MB |
The query result size is affected by the dimension of the dense vectors and whether or not dense vector values and metadata are included in the result.
If a query fails due to exceeding the 4MB result size limit, choose a lower top_k value, or use include_metadata=False or include_values=False to exclude metadata or values from the result. For better performance, especially with higher top_k values, avoid including vector values unless you need them.
Cost#

Data freshness#
Pinecone is eventually consistent, so there can be a slight delay before new or changed records are visible to queries. You can view index stats to check data freshness.
