Have I understood Graph Connector limits correctly?
There are a couple of places with information about Graph Connectors limits, both technical and licensing. Would appreciate any feedback to check if I've understood them all correctly 🙂
Limits are documented:
- General https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/connectors-overview#what-are-the-connector-limitations
- API https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/connecting-external-content-api-limits
- Licensing https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/licensing
Based on this:
- 10 connectors per tenant
- 700,000 items per connector
- All of the Graph connectors by Microsoft are free. However, you need to have sufficient index quota to ingest content from those connectors:
- For E5, 500 items of index quota per licenses
- Additional quota can be purchased
- Currently, Microsoft Graph connectors only support up to 7 million items of total index quota
Does the 700,000 limit apply to Microsoft-built connectors, as it isn't mentioned in the documentation only in the API documentation?
Can multiple versions of the same connector be installed, so that the 700,000 limit can be exceeded?
JamesDellowE2 Those docs pages are up to date and your understanding is rcorrect!

- I did notice that support for 5 million items and higher per connection should be in preview right now
- Hi JamesDellowE2, we are currently rolling out this change so that you can now index up to 5M items. 🙂 The changes should be available for you to leverage in a few weeks.
- Support for 5 million items is fully rolled out and generally available. Please see our blog post: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-search-blog/increase-engagement-and-discoverability-of-your-data-with/ba-p/3417102
