Serverless rate limits
Private previewLast seen at this status: 2026-10-18·12d ago
Caps how far an automated serverless workload, a job or a Spark Declarative Pipeline, can autoscale. A workspace admin sets a size on a custom automated serverless compute object, from Small (about 60 DBUs per hour) to 2X-Large (about 960), and each job or pipeline that uses it is capped on its own. Interactive notebooks and Databricks Connect are not rate-limited, and Databricks Runtime 17.3.1 or above is required. Databricks has said shared budgets for interactive serverless work are coming soon.
