Does the Firestore write batch limit of 500 operations still exist?

Question

The Firestore write batch documentation says there is a 500 operations limit.

However, the Firestore release notes say this limit has been removed in March 2023.

Which one should I believe?

Answer 1

Most likely the official documentation regarding batched writes is outdated. You can add more than 500 operations to a batch. So the release notes from March 2023 are correct. Besides that, I did not find such a limitation inside the Firestore usage and limis.

Finally, to be absolutely sure, I personally tested and I was able to add more than 500 operations to a batch, and the batch operation ended successfully.
