Quota Limitation

Questions
1

When I try to access my work on typst I keep receiving, the following error: “Error: QuotaExceededError: The current transaction exceeded its quota limitations.”

I thought it’s related to the fact that I’m not a “PRO” user, so I bought the subscription plan. After that I still receive this error, and what’s worse I’m unable to get to my work or even download it. Could anyone help, I don’t hide that I had my Bachelor thesis there and it’s due in two days.

Hey there, I’m sorry that you have run into this problem. The problem here is not about a quota that we enforce, but one that the browser enforces. We use browser storage to save your project locally to make it (a) faster to load and (b) retain your progress if you are disconnected. The local data is regularly cleaned up to make sure it doesn’t grow to large, but in edge cases or if the browser limit is very low it is still possible that it is hit. We should definitely handle this more gracefully.

To fix the problem and access your project:

  • First of all, you should not have the problem from another browser or device.
  • To fix it for your primary browser, try logging out of Typst and back in. This will clear your local project data. Important: If you have worked offline recently and did not reconnect after that, this will clear your local progress.
  • Alternatively, you can clear all website data for typst.app. How this works varies by browser. If you’re unsure how to do this, just google “clear website data” and append the name of your browser.

As for your Typst Pro subscription: If you don’t need it otherwise, note that you can cancel it within the first 14 days and get your money back.
