Google Plus Friends Limit: You’ve reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time.

Published: December 10, 2011

We are receiving number of emails from our users saying that they can’t add more people to their circles in Google Plus.
Whenever they are adding new people to the circle, the below message is displayed :

You’ve reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time.

Google+ Limit : You've reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time

Google+ Limit : You've reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time

Our support technicians have found that this happens due to the individual’s activeness for his Google+ account, but in total you can add only 5000 friends.

1. If the Individual has just created his account with Google+, then he can only add few hundred people to his circle in 1 day.

2. If he uses Google+ a lot and adds people to his circle on a daily basis, then there is a limit of 5000 friends.

So, when an active user has added 5000 people to his circle then this error message will be displayed to him, and he won’t be able to add more people to his circle.

If you have less than 5000 Friends in Google Plus, then limitation is for a couple of days, which will automatically get extended by looking at the activeness of that user. So, you need to wait for a couple of days, to add more friends.

We are constantly doing the experiments to find out more solutions of this limitation.

If you have any suggestions/comments for the same, then please write them below.

Good article. In my opinion, I think it's lame to put limitations on how many friends you can circle in one day or to even have a maximum on one account. I only have 1378 people total. I've goten the message before and it took 2 days before I could circle again. But I've had this for a week now. I get notifide that people added me to their circles and it lets me add them to mine, but when I have a friend that shares a circle, even it it's just 9 people, I can't add.

I am using the Google+ red+ widget gadget with each Blogger post alongside Tweet, FB, etc. But, why does Google+ tell me I can't send to more than 100 members at a time? I have 3 circles, with one circle having 472 which I cannot send to. Should I delete 300 or so to stay within the 100 limit?

Response: This limit depends on your Google+ activity and period with Google+. You don\'t need to delete anything. This restriction will get removed after sometime, if you are using Google+ regularly.
