# Resource Limitations

These are the limitations to our external servers to prevent resource abuse.

xPanel uses a method called [long-polling](https://github.com/Reselim/roblox-long-polling) *(This module is tailored to our needs)* to bring you instant updates as opposed to waiting a certain time. These use a database, and to prevent abuse I've implemented limits to the amount of data you can store at a time.

**What is a request?** A request is something such as a ban query, code execution, or ban from an external resource such as our site or discord.

**Maximum Requests:** 100&#x20;

**How much data can I store in a request?** There's currently a limit of 25k characters that can be stored in each request.

**How do I clear my requests?** Once you start up a game, data will be sent to your game. Once that data is sent to you, it is cleared from the database.
