What to Do When You Get the Form Over Quota Error

June 4, 2024

Each Jotform plan has corresponding limits, and when you reach any of these limits, it is the Form Over Quota message that you’ll see in your forms instead of being able to view and submit them.

The following monthly and fixed limits will trigger the error message:

  • Submissions — Your monthly regular submissions or submissions without payment.
  • Payment Submissions — Your monthly payment submissions or submissions to forms integrated with one of our payment gateways, like PayPal or Stripe.
  • Sign Documents — Your monthly completed signed documents. Visit Jotform Sign to learn more.
  • Form Views — Your monthly total number of views across all your forms from your account.
  • Upload Space — The fixed total available disk space you can utilize for your forms with the File Upload field.

Here’s an example of the Form Over Quota message if you maxed out your regular submissions. You will see the message “This form has exceeded its allocated quota” in this error page.

On top of that, as the form owner, you will also receive an email notifying you of such a limit. Below is an email sent to an account with the Starter plan:

Upgrade your account to a higher plan to increase your limits. See How to Upgrade My Account for more details.

If you get the message due to your Monthly Submission limit, you can increase it by doing some tasks listed in our GetMore Program. Visit your account’s Increase Limit section for the tasks.
