You may have asked yourself, "Up to how many items can a board contain?" Well, this is a great question! In order to retain our top-notch board performance, we keep a limit in place of 10,000 items per board and for any plan type, aside from our Enterprise plan which allows for 100,000 items.
In this article, we'll learn more about why we have this limit in place as well as some tips and tricks to use if your board reaches this limit. Let's get into it!
Why is there an item limit?
At monday.com, we strive to keep our board performance as quick and smooth as possible so that teams can work to the best of their abilities. In order for this to happen, it is necessary to limit the amount of items on each board. For this reason, the limit stands at 10,000 items per board for all plan types aside from the Enterprise plan which allows for 20,000 items.
What happens if the limit is reached?
If you happen to reach the item limit on your board, you'll see a banner appear at the top of your board stating that you've reached your limit. You will then no longer be able to add additional items until some are removed from your board.
If your board reaches the limit, no need to worry! Below, we'll go over ways that you can remove items from your board so you'll be back within the limit in no time.

To reduce the number of items on your board, you can:

- Archive items
- Move items to other boards
Let's check out each option!
- Deleting items

Your archived items will be available for you to restore indefinitely!
