Is there any MAX limit of draft orders (will be created by Shopify Custom App) for a live store?
Hi Abhisek
There is no specific limit which targets the number of draft orders created, but all custom apps are bound by our GraphQL rate limits.

There isn’t a published cap on how many draft orders a store can accumulate, so you don’t have to worry about hitting a “hard” maximum.
The main constraint you’ll face is the API throughput itself. Since draft order creation is done via the Admin API, you’ll be bound by the standard rate limits on either REST or GraphQL calls depending on which you use (Shopify API limits)
If you plan to generate a high volume programmatically, it’s worth thinking about retries, handling throttling responses gracefully, and possibly batching requests to stay within budget.
The draft orders will also contribute to overall store data size, so performance considerations may come into play long term, but there’s no explicit store-level ceiling.
If this answers your question, you can mark Liam’s reply as the solution so others looking into draft-order scaling will find it easily.
