Pinecone raises Enterprise namespaces per index limit tenfold to 1M
What happened
Between the Sep 28, 2026 and Sep 29, 2026 captures of Pinecone's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Enterprise plan Namespaces per Index limit increased from 100,000 to 1,000,000. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit increase) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 3, 2026) lists Builder at $20, Standard at $4 Write Units (M) + $0.15 Restore from Backup (GB), Enterprise at $0.1 GB egress per month + $500 subscription, HIPAA Compliance at $190 and Developer Support at $29.
It lands 8 days after Pinecone's previous change, "Pinecone launches Nexus, an agent knowledge engine, via request-only trial" (Sep 21, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Pinecone: Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) added to Enterprise plan" (Jul 17, 2026) and "Pinecone adds egress pricing: $0.10/GB overage past 100GB on top plans" (Jul 6, 2026). Pinecone has been tracked since 2023-12-22.
In the same window Elastic, Zilliz, Redis, Weaviate and Chromatic also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
