Events and key events

[GA4] Event collection limits

These limits apply on a per-property basis. You can increase certain limits (but not event/parameter character limits) by upgrading your property to Google Analytics 360. For configuration limits, see this article instead.

Collection limits

Google Analytics doesn't log events, event parameters, and user properties that exceed the following limits. For example, Analytics doesn't process the 26th user property nor does it process an event name with more than 40 characters.

For detailed information about the error events that Analytics logs when you exceed the following collection limits, see Analytics Error Codes.

Logged item Limit (For 360 limits, go here) Can I archive items if I'm close to the limit?

Distinctly named events

There is not limit on the number of distinctly named events for web data streams.

500 per app user

(for app data streams)

You might see more than 500 distinctly named events if users on different app instances trigger different events.

Automatically collected events and enhanced measurement events don't count toward the limits.
