  • 1.  Websocket limit

    Hi, 

    can someone please confirm whether the 20,000 topic limit is per user or per organization or per token?

    I recall reading somewhere that it was per organization but the online manual shows that it is per user?

    Hi Amit,

    If you are referring to Speech and Text Analytics (STA) topics, my understanding is that this is an organization-levellimit rather than a per-user or per-token limit

    The documentation I found shows the default limit as 500 topics per organization, with the option to request an increase to 5,000 topics per organization:

    https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/work-with-a-topic/  
    https://help.mypurecloud.com/releasenote/september-2-2024/

    So I think the confusion may be coming from a different 20,000 limit in another Genesys feature, rather than topics specifically.

    Hi Amit,

    Sorry, just saw that you were referring to WebSocket topics.

    I couldn’t find a single official document that explicitly states a hard “20,000 topic” limit. What I did find in community discussions is the underlying limit structure, namely 1,000 topics per channel and up to 20 channels, which is where the ~20,000 figure seems to come from.

    So my understanding is that the 20,000 number is derived from those limits, rather than being documented as one standalone limit.

    References:
    https://community.genesys.com/discussion/clarification-on-websocket-limits  
    https://community.genesys.com/discussion/question-about-the-notifications-apis  

    Hopefully someone from the community can confirm or provide an official reference if available.

    Hi Amit,

    There isn't an explicit, standalone "20,000 WebSocket topics" hard limit documented in Genesys Cloud.

    That number is typically derived from the underlying Notifications API limits:

    • Up to 1,000 topics per channel
    • Up to 20 channels per WebSocket connection

    Which results in a theoretical maximum of ~20,000 topics per WebSocket connection.

    So to clarify:

    • This is not a per-user or per-token limit.
    • It applies to the WebSocket connection itself.
    • In practice, since connections are usually managed by an application or integration, it can appear as an org-level limit.
    • This is separate from STA topic limits, which are different and often cause confusion.

    The "20,000" figure comes from this channel-based architecture rather than a single documented limit.

    Hope this helps clarify.
