FAQ
We've landed on 500 to make sure that Todoist can sync quickly and successfully. More than 500 increases the time it takes to sync your data and creates the risk of a sync issue. That said, we're working to make our sync engine faster and aim to increase this limit.
Although you can only create one free team at a time, you can join as many teams as you want.
For now, it's not possible to increase any limits beyond those listed above.
A recurring task counts as a single task. It’s treated like any other task, but with a due date that automatically updates each time you complete it.
