Set session limits

Decide, per member, how many sessions they may run at once. The deployment administrator sets the tenant-wide limits, and you can check them.

What you do What happens
Set Max sessions in a member’s detail It applies from that member’s next new session
Check the tenant-wide limits under Limits & idle The values in force appear. The deployment administrator changes them
Decide whether to use the limit board Whether members may show each other where they stand on usage limits

There are two kinds of limit: tenant-wide and per member.

Limit Who sets it What it counts
Max workspaces Deployment administrator Workspaces running at once in the tenant
Max sessions (tenant) Deployment administrator Sessions one member runs at once. Applies to members with no limit of their own
Max sessions (member) You Sessions that member runs at once
  1. Pick a member under Tenant settings → Members to open the member detail
  2. On the Size and limits card (just below the resource meters), press Change
  3. Enter a number in Max sessions under Session limit, and press Save

The whole form is shown in Set the workspace size.

  • A member with a limit shows it on their roster card, like s≤4
  • What counts is running agent sessions. Terminal (shell) and SSM sessions are not counted and still open when the limit is reached
  • A member’s own limit replaces the tenant-wide max sessions for them. It may be higher than the tenant’s
  • Saving 0 removes the member’s own limit, and the tenant-wide max sessions applies. If that is 0 too, there is no limit

What a member sees at the limit is in See how resources are used.

Open Tenant settings → Tenant › Limits & idle.

Limits & idle: next to the tenant name, "a deployment administrator sets the tenant-wide caps", then the member count, the running workspaces and "Limits — Workspace: 4 / Session: 8"
  • Limits — Workspace: X / Session: Y are the values in force. ∞ means no limit
  • To change them, ask the deployment administrator. They cannot be changed from this screen
  • Where the deployment offers a choice of machine, the tenant’s Default machine is on the same screen (Choose the machine)

The deployment administrator also sets the following per tenant. Their values do not appear on your screen, so ask the deployment administrator when you need them.

Setting Where it is explained
Max internal repositories, max LFS size Creating or uploading beyond them is refused
Per-workspace memory cap Set the workspace size
Idle auto-stop Stop workspaces left idle
Start at sign-in Start the workspace at sign-in
Inference engine use and model ingest Choose who may use the inference engines and which models

The limit board is where members show each other where they stand on their agents’ usage limits. Under Tenant settings → Tenant › Limit board, Use the limit board in this tenant decides whether the tenant uses it.

  • It is on by default. Even when it is on, each member stays hidden until they choose to publish
  • Turning it off stops collection and empties everyone’s board. Organisations that do not want remaining quota shown at all turn it off
  • This screen does not show an administrator any member’s values
  • Switching it is recorded in the audit log

Agent Fleet does not ask which subscription a member has, and never pools limits. Whether those subscriptions allow sharing this is the tenant’s call. The member’s side is in Show each other where you stand on usage limits.
