Is it a bug if I receive an alert stating "You've created all the items allowed by your Webflow CMS Hosting plan" when my website only has 104 entries, which is significantly below the allowed limit of 2,000 items in the CMS?

TL;DR
  • Check archived and draft items, as they count toward the CMS limit.
  • Verify if a single Collection limit is reached, even if the overall CMS limit isn't.
  • Confirm your hosting plan hasn't been downgraded unexpectedly.
  • Try logging out and back in to address potential sync issues.
  • Contact Webflow Support if the issue persists.

If you're receiving the alert "You've created all the items allowed by your Webflow CMS Hosting plan" while having only 104 CMS items—far below the 2,000-item limit—this is likely not a bug but rather an issue related to one of the following limitations.

1. Check for Archived or Unpublished Items

  • Webflow counts archived and draft items toward your CMS limit.
  • Go to CMS Collections > Filter by Status and check Archived and Draft items. Delete unnecessary entries if needed.

2. Verify CMS Collection Limits

  • Each individual Collection has a specific limit depending on your plan.
  • If a single Collection has reached its limit (e.g., 100 for a Basic CMS plan), you can’t add more to that Collection even if the overall 2,000-item limit isn’t reached.
  • Check Webflow Pricing Docs to confirm your specific Collection limits.

3. Confirm You’re Not on a Lower Plan Than Expected

  • If your CMS Hosting plan was downgraded for any reason (e.g., payment failure), you might be hitting a lower limit than expected.
  • Go to Project Settings > Billing to confirm your current plan.

4. Synchronization Issues with Webflow's Server

  • Sometimes, Webflow may not immediately update the CMS item count after deletions.
  • Try logging out and back in, or clear your browser cache and check again.

5. Contact Webflow Support

  • If none of the above explain the issue, it could be a true backend miscount or an account-specific issue.
  • Go to Webflow Support and provide screenshots of your CMS count and plan details.

Summary

This error is usually due to archived/draft items, Collection-specific limits, or plan restrictions rather than a bug. Check these factors first, and if the issue persists, reach out to Webflow Support.
