Limits in Inspera Assessment are defined thresholds that help keep the service reliable, secure, and performant as usage scales. Some limits are enforced (the system blocks you from exceeding them), while others are indicative guardrails (recommended best-practice thresholds) that help you plan, design, and manage your setup before you run into performance or usability issues.
In this article you can learn about the default limits for some of the functionality in Inspera Assessment. Note that your institution might have a specific agreement to have increased some of the limits.
