Error: Maximum Columns Limit Reached in Database Table

·

Hey! I'm getting the following error but my table only has 35 columns as shown in the screenshot. How can I resolve? "You have reached the maximum number of columns allowed (100 total columns, 40 action columns). Please delete some columns before adding new ones."

The error occurs because you've hit the action column limit, not the total column limit. Each table has a limit of 30 action/enrichment columns (or 40 with waterfalls), even if your total columns are under the 70-column limit. To resolve this, delete some completed enrichment columns after retrieving their data. This frees up space for new action columns while keeping your text columns. Action columns include AI enrichments, integrations, and waterfall components - these count separately from regular text columns.

No, I've done the same exact enrichments on other tables and have had no issues. I'm still getting the same error after deleting multiple columns.

Hey — no worries. I just checked the table you shared and was able to add a new enrichment without hitting the limit. Can you try again on your end and let me know if it’s still blocking you?
