Solved

Hello Shopify,

 

I want to confirm my observation, is that correct that we can have maximum 5 active discounts created via `discountAutomaticAppCreate` mutation? I can't find any information in the documentation, but when I'm trying to add 6th active discount I receive this error from API:

 
'The active period overlaps with that of another price rule'.
Thanks for confirmation or even better for the link to the documentation.

Best,
Greg

Currently only 5 automatic function-based discounts can be active at a time. Function-based discount codes do not have this limitation, but customer carts can only have 5 codes added at most.

It's a number we plan to increase over time but we do not have any dates to share on this.

When you talk about automatic function based discounts, do you refer to the Automatic App Discounts (Not the Automatic Basic Discounts) as listed in the documentation? What is the difference between both anyway?
