Is there a limit to the number of responses my maze can receive?
Mazes with a very large number of responses may experience performance issues when viewing results and/or reports. In these cases, we recommend downloading your results data to get the best experience.
If you receive over 500 responses, you’ll start seeing a warning on app.maze.co:
500+ answers collected Your maze has received more than 500 answers. This maze will stop after collecting 2000 answers.
Mazes that exceed 2000 responses will automatically stop collecting results. Participants can no longer open the maze link and they’ll see the following message instead:
This maze is no longer available
Sorry, this maze has been archived by its owner and is no longer available for testing
Is it possible to stop collecting results after a certain number of responses?
At the moment, it’s not possible to stop the testing automatically after reaching a pre-defined limit of responses or time.
