Hello all!

 

The Planner team has lifted limits users may have hit in the past. We will continue to monitor usage and proactively increase limits as we see them needing to be raised. Although we won’t be publishing official documentation on what these limits are, we do want to assure our users that Planner is a product that can scale well to a large group or organization. Planner has been successfully adopted by teams of all sizes, and we are committed to ensuring that this isn’t something our users will need to think or worry about.

 

Cheers, 

Joanna Parkhurst, PM Planner

    Hi Joanna,

    It would be great to know the exact limitations, we are noticing some users getting "We couldn't complete your request because your item or storage limit has been exceeded. Technical details."

    I am hitting a limitation of 400 items returned in the List Tasks for the Planner connector in Flow.  This is the first time I've noticed - we have been using Planner since Jan 2018.  Is there any type of workaround for this? 

     

    Since there is, as of yet, no reporting from Planner - have been outputting items in Excel and creating pivot tables to produce the data I need.

     

    Now I am going to be stuck at 400 item limit.  Any words of wisdom?

    Hi Joanna Parkhurst,

     

    Is there any official word on the resolution of the cap on task assignments? You stated that there was no official documentation on the limitations, but some of us are making decisions about what products to use and we're taking the limitations noted by SanthoshB1 into consideration. Can you confirm if the limits in the original post have been lifted?

     

    Thank you,

    David Thurston

    Thanks Joanna Parkhurst.  Just to be clear, are you monitoring limits and proactively raising on an aggregate level, or per account as needed?  In the case of our company, we are considering setting up a project template for each new client, where 1-2 people would be the central administrators.  That said, we do not want to hit a ceiling shortly after roll out.  What action do you recommend if we do hit the invisible wall?  Will extended limits be available for purchase?  Can you give some general range?

     

    I also connected with SanthoshB1 yesterday, who unbeknownst to me is now sales head at Jiji Technologies, creator of product I've been testing.  They seem to be doing a great job of building out some very useful API's for getting the most out of Planner, and he was very responsive in upgrading me to a fully-functional 30 day license after I sent a support email.  Although there still seem to be a couple bugs, I think it would be great if your team could take a look at what they're doing, especially with templates, export/import with excel, and reporting.  Perhaps we wouldn't need to completely reinvent the wheel?  Just a thought.
