[Tex/LaTex] Limits in overleaf

overleaf

I am currently considering to use overleaf for the first time. But there are listed some limits:

https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/What_is_the_maximum_compilation_time,_file_number_and_project_size_allowed_on_free_vs_paid_plans%3F

I believe those limits are not too strict, but for example "Maximum total size of editable material per project: 7 MB" seems strict. What does that mean exactly? What is "editable material"? Also "Maximum size of an individual editable text file: 2 MB" – what is an editable text file? If it is what I think, that seems actually a bit restrictive, because there is likely a limit of several hundred pages to be used. On the other hand, "Maximum size of an individual upload: 50 MB" seems quite a lot. I am a bit confused.

Can someone explain what these limits imply or when they actually play a role? Thanks.

Text files. The 7MB of total editable contents, and 2MB for a single file shouldn't be a problem if you write standard text; as you realized 7MB of contents is several thousand pages, given contents is plain text. Every file that can be edited directly in the Overleaf text editor counts towards the contents. Usually, it's not an issue. Mostly you can reach the limit only with some extemities, which include:

Extreme .bib files that include full abstracts or even hex/base64-encoded PDFs.
Large datasets (CSV files and similar).
Extreme code listings. (It's imaginable that someone has 7MB of code they want to display.)

Uploads. The limit on a single upload is 50MB. It is possible to have projects larger than that, by either adding the large files into the project one by one, or using the Dropbox sync.

Compile time. Note that if a project nears any of the two limits (7MB text, 50MB total), it will most likely fail to compile in the given 1- or 4-minute timeout. Maybe a project with 50MB of JPGs or directly includable PDFs would be compiled in 4 minutes, but chances still are it wouldn't.

Bottom line. As long as you use Overleaf/LaTeX in a reasonable way, you should never reach any of the file size limits in place.

There is no way that I know of to have the output.pdf of a project within the project itself. But what works is having the output.pdf in another project. To accomplish this you can use the "add file" menu. There you go to "add from another project" -> "select output file" and choose the "output.pdf".

This might be useful if you want to combine a lot of outputs using pdfpages or similar.

Hope this helps!

Overleaf not compiling

There are several errors in your code, resulting that the code is not compilable ... Let's have a look on it:

Do not use geometry, if you use \addtolength{\topmargin}{-55pt} etc. Or the better way: Use geometry with proper options and delete your manual settings with \addtolength{\topmargin}{-55pt} ...
Load packages only once (several packages you loaded twice or more) and respect the order of loading packages as I did in the follwoing MWE. For example I loaded tikz and hyperref last ...
Change your used \cite{макаренко2020анализ} to something like \cite{test}, that means use only ASCII characters for the key of your bib entry.
Do you realy need all that loaded packages? If not delete that one you do not use in your document.
