Introducing limits on custom pipeline variables in Bitbucket Pipelines

[#1]

We’re introducing limits on custom pipeline variables to keep pipelines fast, secure, and reliable.

What are Custom pipeline variables?

Custom pipeline variables are variables you define in your pipeline YAML or provide at run time via UI/API.

• Defined in bitbucket-pipelines.yml or set at run time via UI/API.

New limits on custom pipeline variables

Limits per pipeline run:

• Current limits: Up to 350 variables, with a maximum combined size of 512 KB.

• Future limits (in approximately 3 months): Up to 50 variables, with a maximum combined size of 10 KB.

If these limits are exceeded, pipeline creation will fail with an error indicating that the custom pipeline variable limits have been exceeded.

Note: These limits apply only to custom pipeline variables. They do not apply to repository, workspace, or deployment variables.

Happy coding!
