Cost limit

You can add up to 5,000 rules to a Cloudlets policy, but there is a maximum processing cost per policy that Akamai places on each request to prevent performance issues. Adding more than 1,000 rules to a single policy typically exceeds the cost limit, depending on your rules complexity.

For example, regular expressions are complex and have a very high processing cost, often 100 times more expensive than other match criteria. The actual number of rules processed per policy depends on the complexity of the regular expressions defined.

If your policy has more than 1,000 rules, or your rules aren't working as expected before reaching the 5,000 rules limit, consider the following solutions to reduce impact on a single request:

Split your policy into multiple policies limited up to 1,000 rules and set up path matches in Property Manager to call them.
Review and simplify the rules in your policy. For example, use wildcards instead of regular expressions, or remove wildcards from rules where possible.
