# Limits & Quotas

This page summarizes the limits that apply to Native Builds. Plan-specific allowances are listed on the [pricing page](https://capawesome.io/pricing/){:target="_blank"}.

## Build minutes

Native builds are billed by **build minutes** — the time a build spends running. Only active build time counts; time spent queued while waiting for a machine doesn't. Your plan includes a number of build minutes per month. Builds already running when you reach the limit are allowed to finish; to get more headroom, upgrade your plan — there are no metered overage charges. See [Estimate usage](estimate-usage.md) to predict your consumption.

## Concurrency

The number of builds that can run at the same time depends on your plan. Additional builds are queued and start as capacity frees up.

## Build timeout

Each build has a maximum duration. A build that exceeds it is stopped and marked as failed.

## Artifact retention

Build artifacts (APK, AAB, IPA) are retained for a limited time, after which they're removed. Download or [submit](../app-store-publishing/index.md) artifacts you want to keep.
