Tableau Cloud Capacity
Tableau Cloud is provisioned with capacity to support your users’ analytic needs. With the introduction of capacity management capabilities in May 2026 (Tableau 2026.1), cloud administrators have greater visibility and control of how these capacities are allocated across the sites in a tenant.
Notes:
- The capacity information discussed in this topic applies to sites in your Tableau Cloud Manager (TCM) tenant. The tenant is the top-level administrative layer where cloud administrators manage their organisation’s Tableau Cloud deployment. Depending on your Tableau edition, TCM includes up to 3 sites by default. The number of sites increases with different edition types – up to 10 sites with Enterprise edition and a maximum of 50 sites with Tableau+ edition. For more information about TCM, see Use Tableau Cloud Manager.
- Licensing capacity is managed at the tenant level and can be allocated to sites by cloud administrators using site role limits. For more information, see Manage Site Role Limits.
Capacity summary
The following table summarises the capacity allowances for your site by feature. You can find more capacity information by the feature areas listed in the table below.
Important: Capacity limits specific for sites in TCM are subject to change as we evolve our infrastructure.
Additional notes
- Edition and licence: Several capacities are calculated based on your Tableau Cloud edition and Creator licence count, and noted where applicable.
- Advanced Management add-on: As of 16 September 2024, Advanced Management is no longer available as an independent add-on option. If your site was previously licensed with the Advanced Management add-on, your site or tenant capacity is equivalent to the capacity Tableau+ or Enterprise edition unless noted otherwise.

* Capacity limits are not guaranteed, especially during peak periods. To ensure that system resources are equitably distributed across Tableau Cloud, Tableau Cloud dynamically allocates system resource to optimise job performance. This includes enforcing limits on daily backgrounder hours to run concurrent extracts. Scheduling is designed to start jobs within 15 minutes or less of their scheduled time. To reduce queue times, run jobs during off-peak periods for the region your site is deployed in.
