DigitalOcean Evaluations Limits

Last verified 12 Oct 2026

DigitalOcean Evaluations measure model, Inference Router, and agent performance using dataset evaluations and simulations.

Limits

  • Each evaluation can use up to 10 selected metrics, including custom metrics.
  • Access to commercial models from OpenAI and Anthropic as candidate or judge models requires a tier 2 account. To move to tier 2 and unlock model access, complete a prepayment in the DigitalOcean Control Panel.

Dataset Evaluation Limits

  • Each dataset can contain up to 1,000 rows. For multi-turn datasets, the limit is 1,000 conversations.
  • Each dataset can be up to 1 GB, regardless of team tier.
  • You cannot rename datasets after creation.
  • In the Control Panel, custom metrics are available only for single-turn dataset evaluations.

Simulation Limits public

  • Each scenario set can contain up to 10 scenarios. Generating a scenario set from a goal creates from 1 to 10 scenarios.
  • Each uploaded scenario set file can be up to 5 MB.
  • Scenario set names can be up to 255 characters.
  • The max_turns value for an uploaded scenario must be from 1 through 10.
  • Each scenario can have up to 10 tags. Each tag can be up to 64 characters and can contain only letters, numbers, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
  • Each simulation run can use up to 10 turns per scenario and up to five episodes per scenario.
  • You cannot change the scenarios in, or delete, a scenario set while any simulation run references it. To change the scenarios, duplicate the set and edit the copy.
  • You can only delete a simulation run after it reaches a terminal status: succeeded, partially successful, failed, or cancelled.
  • In the Control Panel, simulations use only the built-in multi-turn evaluation metrics and do not offer custom metrics. When you create a simulation run using the API, you can also use custom metrics.

Preset and Custom Metric Limits

  • Each team can create up to 100 evaluation presets.
  • Each team can create up to 100 custom metrics.
  • Each custom metric must contain fewer than 8,192 characters.
  • You can only delete custom metrics from the evaluation creation page.
