**Management free:** Elastic manages the underlying Elastic cluster, so you can focus on your data. With serverless projects, Elastic is responsible for automatic upgrades, data backups, and business continuity.

**Autoscaled:** To meet your performance requirements, the system automatically adjusts to your workloads. For example, when you have a short time spike on the data you ingest, more resources are allocated for that period of time. When the spike is over, the system uses less resources, without any action on your end.

When the spike is over, the system uses less resources, without any action on your end. Some [project-level limits](/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/differences-from-other-elasticsearch-offerings.md#index-and-resource-limits) apply to ensure performance and stability. Certain limits are adjustable by request.

@yetanothertw , at the moment, in event of a customer exceeding this limit, they will receive a 400 bad request error for their REST calls. The exception will contain a link to this

/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/differences-from-other-elasticsearch-offerings.md#index-and-resource-limits

This link is coded in https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/main/server/src/main/resources/org/elasticsearch/common/reference-docs-links.txt#L41.

I will follow up with code change to point to this new URL.

@zhubotang-wq, should we wait until the code change is complete before we merge the docs? Or is it okay to merge now?

@yetanothertw let's please wait - we're still finalizing a decision on the actual number of indices to apply as the limit.

Normalize opentelemetry:///reference/motlp.md to opentelemetry://reference/motlp.md
for consistency with other opentelemetry crosslinks in the file.
