250 collection runs per month on Professional?

Ask the Experts and Postman Tips
56

Well, I’m already pretty sure this limit was enforced after Postman 10.10.x.
So far, there is still no official explanation for users in this community.
I also don’t want to discuss the rationality of this disgusting limit.
Not only that, there is also no buffer time for free(even if basic&pro) users to accept this change, especially users who depend on Local Runner to debug test script.

If you guys want to avoid this limit,
the urgent workaround is to downgrade to Postman 10.9.4(This shoud be latest version that is not affected by Runner limit, I have tested it).

So let’s do this,

1. First, Backup/Export your Collections/APIs, if you sycned data to cloud, you can skip this step.
2. Block Postman auto upgrade by adding host 127.0.0.1 dl.pstmn.io in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
3. Uninstall Postman v10.10.x and Install Postman v10.9.4, I have uploaded to Cloud Storage (to avoid Postman potentially maliciously deleting this old version)
4. Start Postman and import your data or login your account.

Download

You will see there is no limit any more for Local Runner.
Note:
This is only urgent/temporary solution.
