01Limits

Item Limit
Flag key 1–128 characters, ^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$, unique per project, fixed after creation
Condition sets per flag 20
Variants per flag 2–100, split must total exactly 100 %
Payload (flag or variant) 32 KB of JSON
Selector groups per flag 20; names are lowercase letters, digits, _ and -
Request body 64 KB; up to 100 names and 100 groups per selector
userToken 512 characters
currentUrl Absolute URL, 4,096 characters
userContext 4 KB of JSON
Rollout precision Two decimals (0.01 %), 100,000 buckets
Browser timeout and cache 3 s request timeout; 5 minute localStorage cache after consent

02Reasons

reason enabled When
inactive false The flag is switched off in the dashboard
remote_config true Active remote config; payload returned, no condition consulted, no token needed
condition_match true A condition set matched and the visitor fell inside its rollout. Variant flags also return variant
no_matching_condition false No condition set passed
missing_user_token false Properties matched but the rollout or split needs a token and none was sent. Also sets errorsWhileComputingFlags

03Responses

Response Meaning
404 Project Feature Flags not found The project has never published a flag
401 Unauthorized Server key missing from the Edge, revoked or wrong. A bad key never falls back to public flags
403 Project does not match Server API key The key belongs to another project
405 Anything but POST
413 Body over 64 KB or userContext over 4 KB
A key missing from flags The flag was deleted, is private and the request had no key, or is not in the selector

04Freshness and caching

The Edge reads the project snapshot from its store on every request with no cache in the worker, so a publish is visible on the next request. Responses are Cache-Control: private, no-store. The browser SDK keeps its own 5 minute cache per project after consent.

05What flags do not do yet

  • No reporting. Flags do not send exposure events and do not appear in experiment results. Use a Coframe experiment when you need measured impact.
  • No history or rollback. Each save raises a version number, but earlier versions cannot be viewed or restored. Deleting a flag is permanent.
  • npm only. Flags are not available through the cf.js script tag or window.Coframe.
  • No local evaluation. The server SDK always calls the Edge.
  • Dashboard operators are equals, contains and not contains; nested and/or rules are API-only and shown read-only.
