# Output token limit

Output-token limits are recorded separately from total context because harnesses may reserve, cap, or truncate generated text and artifacts independently.

- HTML: https://canmyagentuse.com/features/output-token-limit
- JSON: https://canmyagentuse.com/api/v1/features/output-token-limit.json
- Markdown: https://canmyagentuse.com/features/output-token-limit.md

Terminology basis: **Measured product property** — https://developers.openai.com/api/reference/cli/resources/responses/methods/create.

## Current support at a glance

Output token limit: no reviewed current support evidence across 31 cataloged products yet.

- Reviewed current products: 0 of 31
- Supported: 0
- Partial: 0
- Unsupported: 0
- Unreviewed: 31
- Not applicable: 0

Unknown or unreviewed means insufficient published evidence; it does not mean unsupported.

This row tracks the maximum response or artifact generation budget exposed by the harness. The number may be lower than a model API limit and may vary for chat, code edits, tool calls, structured output, or background tasks.

Evidence should identify units, model and mode, defaults, user controls, stop behavior, and whether the harness continues long results across messages or files. UI clipping, transport truncation, and model generation limits should not be collapsed into one cause.
