Limit on the number of Topics

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 11

The Microsoft documentation is pretty clear that there is a limit of 1000 topics for a PVA, however one of my customers is getting a message that the limit is 250 topics. Was there a change that I can't find that varies this limit based on whether you are using the base Teams license or the dedicated PVA license? Note that the DOCS articles for both versions state the same 1000 topic limit.

    Hey @Jcook , thanks for your reply! At the moment I have 270 active topics. So I don't know if 250 active topics is the case..

    Hello @Anonymous 

     

    It could be anything @WoodyWindy  just mentioned or maybe 250 active topics?

    I have to assume that this is, not simply an error in the docs, but rather either 1: a systemic bug (allowing the excess) that was recently corrected, or 2: a change in the Teams version's service description that we missed the announcement for. The documentation reflected the reality, rather than the nominally "correct" values.

    So the documentation isn't correct? It still hasn't changed to 250 topics. I have 270 topics, and now I get the same error code. How is that possible, when the maximum of topics is 250? @Jcook

    Hello @WoodyWindy 

     

    I have confirmed with the Product Team that the documentation is wrong and will be updated to show:

    Teams License PVA Topic limit = 250

    Incorrect documentation for the Teams "free" version was my guess. I looked through Message Center, but couldn't find anything about this being one of the temporary Covid throttles on the service.

    @micchow Could the docs be incorrect on this one?

     

    This is the first time I have seen this.

    In addition, in scouring the available documentation, I can find no way to adjust this value administratively.

    Hi @WoodyWindy 

     

    Yes documentation does clearly state 1000 is the limit. Could you share a screenshot of the error message alerting the limit is 250.

     

    Thanks!
