File Limits

To ensure platform stability and fair access, Greenhouse Games enforces rate limits on game submissions.

Submission Rate Limit

Rate Limit

10 submissions per 15-minute window per IP address
Each IP address is limited to 10 submission uploads within any rolling 15-minute window. If you exceed this limit, subsequent upload attempts will be rejected until the window resets.

What Counts as a Submission

Every .zip file uploaded through the Developer Dashboard counts as one submission, regardless of whether it passes or fails validation. This includes:
  • Successful uploads that proceed through the pipeline
  • Uploads rejected during validation (wrong format, oversized, etc.)
  • Re-uploads of the same game version

When You Hit the Limit

If you reach the rate limit, you’ll receive an error response indicating that too many submissions have been made. Wait for the 15-minute window to pass before trying again.
Use the submission checklist to verify your bundle meets all requirements before uploading. This helps avoid wasting submissions on bundles that will fail validation.

Next Steps

Before uploading, review the submission checklist to confirm your bundle is ready.
