Default row limits for Matomo Cloud reports

Matomo applies default row limits during the archiving process to optimise performance. When a report exceeds the configured limit, lower-ranking entries are grouped under the label, Others.

Matomo Cloud applies a managed configuration with enforced default limits. While these settings cannot be adjusted directly by users, some limits can be increased on request, depending on the report type and technical constraints.

If you need a higher row limit for a specific report, contact Matomo Support.
