Number of Events on a Timeline
Every paid plan allows up to 1,500 events per timeline, though you'll likely notice the editor slowing down significantly somewhere in the 500-600 range.
Elsewhere in Preceden we say "unlimited events", because writing "1,500 events max" everywhere is cumbersome and very few people add more than a few hundred anyway.
The limit only stops you from adding new events. Events already on a full timeline can still be edited and moved, and re-importing a spreadsheet you exported from it updates those events in place rather than counting them again.
If you run into this limit, consider splitting your timeline into several smaller ones.
The Free Plan's 10-Event Limit
On the free plan, each timeline can have up to 10 events. A banner at the top of the editor shows how many of those 10 you've used, and once a timeline has 10 events, clicking Add Event shows our plans instead of the event form. Upgrading to any paid plan raises the limit to 1,500.
A few details worth knowing:
- The limit follows the timeline owner's plan, not yours. If someone on a Pro plan invites you to collaborate on their timeline, you can add events to it up to the 1,500 maximum, even on a free account.
- AI-generated timelines can start out with more than 10 events on the free plan. Those timelines have their own limit: every generated event plus 5 of your own, so a 25-event generated timeline can hold 30. Deleting generated events lowers that limit too, though never below 10. To add more than 5 events of your own, upgrade to a paid plan.
- Events you add with AI suggestions count toward the limit: the 10, or the 5 of your own on an AI-generated timeline.
