I love the simplicity of using Pinecone, but can’t test it for my use case at the moment because of the 40kb metadata size limit. I am handling slightly larger documents that cant be chunked without losing context. Is there a reason why we can’t store more data in each vector? Just 100kb would be enough. ---

Hi @kristian! Glad you are liking the simplicity of Pinecone 🙂 The 40kb metadata size limit applies only to the [`metadata` field](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/understanding-metadata) (which is optional) in the record. If you want to embed your documents without chunking them, you should be able to do so without issue. See [Generate embeddings](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/inference/generate-embeddings) or our Quickstart for more info. Let me know if you’re able to start testing or if you need additional support! ---

Hi @lauren.s ! I’m using Flowise for upserting my documents and I don’t think there’s a way to upsert text as anything other than metadata there. I don’t have a lot of documents so I could edit them in the record manager in Pinecone manually, but I don’t see a way to add data as anything other than metadata there. I have seen older posts in the support forum where some users got an increase on their index’s metadata limit, is that a possible solution? ---

Hi @kristian, from my understanding, we can’t change the metadata limit but I can submit a feature request for you if you want to DM me your organization name. Alternatively, have you considered using [Pinecone Assistant](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/get-started/assistant-quickstart) to test? ---

@kristian if you scroll to the very bottom of the left side nav, there’s a Messages \> Inbox tab. You can send a message from there! ---
