Maximum amount of content in variables

[Steven Pacheco Portuguez]

We have recently been using repository variables to store certain passwords required by our solution when running a pipeline. These passwords contain approximately 3,000 characters, and we store several of them.

In the last execution, we added one more password. However, the pipelines remain queued and do not start.

We removed the newly added password, and everything works correctly.

The question is: Is there a limit to the amount of content that can be stored in each variable or to the number of repository variables?

Welcome to the community!

The maximum length of all combined pipeline variable names and values should not exceed 120K characters.

If you exceed this, the pipeline build will start to queue up until the variables are reduced. We have existing feature request to improve the error when exceeding the limit as well as increasing the limit that I highly suggest you keep an eye of at:

I hope this helps.
