# Limits

> Store size, dimensions, modes, and free vs paid Moorcheh.

## Store limit

Each moorcheh-edge store supports up to **10,000 items**.

| Field | Value |
| - | - |
| `max_items` | `10000` |

Check quota anytime:

```bash theme={null}
moorcheh-edge status
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "status": "ok",
  "dimension": 384,
  "store_mode": "text",
  "embedding_model": "BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5",
  "items": 42,
  "max_items": 10000,
  "remaining": 9958
}
```

When an upload would exceed the cap, the server returns **HTTP 409**.

## Store modes

One flat store per container. Mode and dimension are locked on the **first upload**.

| Mode | Description | Dimension |
| - | - | - |
| `text` | Client embeds with BGE-small-en-v1.5 | **384** (fixed) |
| `vector` | Client sends precomputed vectors | **128, 256, 384, 768, 1024, or 1536** |

<Warning>
  You cannot mix `text` and `vector` modes in the same store. Run `moorcheh-edge clear-store` to reset mode and dimension.
</Warning>

## Vector requirements

* Upload and search query vectors must match the store **dimension**
* All values must be finite (no `NaN` or `Infinity`)
* The server binarizes vectors for search; only bits are persisted

## Text store

* Embeddings are generated **client-side** (Python CLI/SDK via FastEmbed)
* Default model: `BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5`
* Search accepts plain text (`--query-text` / `search_text()`) or a 384-float vector

## Multiple stores

Use separate Docker data directories or containers for independent stores. The default CLI uses one store at `~/.moorcheh-edge/data`.

## Free vs paid Moorcheh

**Moorcheh Edge (free)** is for:

* Development and experimentation
* Small on-device deployments
* Offline vector search

**Paid Moorcheh** is for production scale:

* Unified indexes above 10k
* Cloud or enterprise self-hosted options
* Platform features beyond a single local store
