The following table lists the technical specifications of IoTDA. If the specifications cannot meet your service requirements, submit a service ticket to describe your requirements.

**Table 1** Resource restrictions
Category	Object	Description	Limit
Instance management	Standard edition instance	Number of units purchased for a standard instance (see Specifications of Standard Edition)	100
Resource space management	Resource space	Number of resource spaces supported by an instance	10
Device access	MQTT	MQTT protocol standard	Supported: MQTT v3.1, v3.1.1, and v5.0; not supported: QoS 2, and will, and retained messages
