The following tables list the limits and constraints that apply to Triggers configuration, webhooks, the Scheduler, and the dead letter queue.

Triggers

The following limits apply to trigger configuration and event processing.

Limit	Details
Triggers per event type	Maximum 32.
Event ordering	Processing of events in order is not guaranteed.
Delivery semantics	At-least-once. Events are guaranteed to be processed at least once but may occasionally be processed multiple times.
Return values	Triggers do not interact with the Cloud Code script or module return value. Execute game logic within the script or module.
Player context	Cloud Code scripts or modules that rely on client-side authentication do not work due to the lack of a player context. Refer to Set up Cloud Code: Context attributes.
Execution timeouts	Cloud Code script and module execution timeouts still apply.
Infinite loops	If your trigger interacts with the same service that emits the event, define a filter to avoid infinite loops.

The following limits apply to Scheduler configuration and invocations.

Limit	Details
Schedule type	Recurring schedules only support cron expressions.
Minimum frequency	Once per hour.
Maximum payload size	1 KB.
Maximum active schedules	900.
Monthly invocations	25,000 invocations from set schedules per month (included in Cloud Code pricing). This covers approximately 30 hourly schedules.
