# Limits reference

> Every documented limit in Hive in one place: workflows, runs, forms, the workflow assistant, Ask Hive, Agent Studio, signals, approvals and webhooks.

These are the limits Hive enforces today. Where a limit depends on your plan or your workspace's
configuration, the table says so. Plan allowances (seats, credits, included runs) are on
[Billing and plans](/admin/billing-and-plans).
