We've increased the limits for metafield and metaobject definitions, providing you with more flexibility when building custom data structures for your apps and stores.
- For app developers: Each app has its own allocation, so apps aren't competing with each other for definition space.
- For merchants: Higher limits support complex workflows across multiple apps and meet custom data needs.
- For metaobject entries: The 1,000,000 entry limit per definition removes previous plan-based restrictions of 64,000 (non-Plus) and 128,000 (Plus).
With these new limits, you can:
- Create more granular data structures in your apps.
- Support larger catalogs and content libraries.
- Build apps with richer metadata without worrying about hitting limits.
