Limit changelog
Platform limits change, and old figures outlive them by years. This page records what changed and when, so any number taken from this site can be checked against a date rather than trusted indefinitely.

Verification log
When each figure was last read from its source, and how much weight that source carries. A number checked against a vendor page is a different kind of fact from one that several third parties agree on, and this site says which it has.
| Checked | Platform | Tier | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discord | Free | secondary | |
| Discord | Nitro Basic | primary | |
| Discord | Nitro | disputed | |
| Email (Gmail) | Gmail, personal account | primary | |
| Email (Gmail) | Gmail, practical file ceiling | secondary | |
| Telegram | Bot API — send | primary | |
| Telegram | Bot API — download | primary | |
| Telegram | Consumer app | disputed | |
| Business API — video | secondary | ||
| Consumer app — media | disputed | ||
| Consumer app — document | disputed |
Known gaps
Two consumer figures are deliberately unpublished rather than guessed. WhatsApp's and Telegram's help centres both reject automated requests, and the numbers in circulation for them are traceable to API documentation rather than to the apps. Rather than repeat a figure we could not stand behind, those cells read not confirmed.
If you have a current screenshot or a vendor page that settles either one, send it over and it will be added with a date and a credit.
