docs(webhooks): pricing and per-plan webhook limits (#5051)
Adds webhooks pricing and per-plan limits to the docs ahead of the webhooks launch on Mon Oct 26 (TRI-14179). ## Pricing Webhooks have no separate charge. The runs a delivery starts or resumes are billed as normal compute (Eric in #project-webhooks, Oct 20). Filtered deliveries start no run, and waiting runs are suspended, so neither uses compute. ## Changes - `docs/limits.mdx`: new sections for webhook waiters, processing concurrency, delivery retention and subscribers per endpoint (values from `enterprise/apps/billing/app/plans/v3.server.ts` and `MAX_WEBHOOK_SUBSCRIBERS_PER_ENDPOINT`). The existing ingest-rate tables and the `#webhook-ingest-rate-limits` anchor are unchanged. - `docs/webhooks/overview.mdx`: new "Pricing and limits" section. - `docs/webhooks/deliveries.mdx`: new "Retention" section. - `docs/webhooks/waiters.mdx`: links the plan-dependent limits to the new table. - `docs/how-to-reduce-your-spend.mdx`: new tip, "Filter webhooks before they start runs". - `trigger-cost-savings` skill: one bullet on webhook filters, plus a patch changeset for `@trigger.dev/sdk`. `mint broken-links` passes. ## To confirm before merging - [ ] "No separate charge" holds after the beta too, not only during it. - [ ] The per-plan webhook limits are live on prod (the `webhook-limits-backfill` has run).

The bundled `trigger-cost-savings` skill now notes that a webhook delivery starts no run when no subscriber's filter matches, so it costs no compute.

## Filter webhooks before they start runs
194+
195+
Give each [webhook](/webhooks/overview) subscriber a [filter](/webhooks/filters) so it only runs for the events it handles. A delivery that no subscriber's filter matches starts no run for any subscriber, so you aren't charged for it. Filters only apply to subscribers: a run [waiting](/webhooks/waiters) for a matching webhook still resumes and uses compute. Receiving webhooks has no separate charge.

## Use debounce to consolidate multiple triggers

195199
When a task might be triggered multiple times in quick succession, use debounce to consolidate them into a single run. This is useful for document indexing, webhook aggregation, cache invalidation, and real-time sync scenarios.

By default, deliveries are stored for at least 30 days, so upgrading your plan shows older deliveries that are still stored. An organization can ask us to store deliveries only for its retention period instead. Deliveries past that period are then deleted and can't be shown again after an upgrade.

218+
## Webhook subscribers
219+
220+
An endpoint can have up to 25 subscribers (tasks, agent sessions and channels) on every plan.

A request must pass verification before anything else happens. Provider handshakes are answered directly and create no delivery. A verified request is checked for duplicates, recorded, and then routed: each subscriber's filter is checked, matching subscribers run, and waiting runs whose match fits the event are resumed. The delivery records a result per subscriber.

## Pricing and limits
87+
88+
Webhooks have no separate charge on Trigger.dev Cloud. Receiving, verifying, filtering and recording deliveries is included in every plan. The runs a delivery starts or resumes are billed like any other run: a per-run invocation cost plus compute time. See [pricing](https://trigger.dev/pricing).
89+
90+
A delivery that no subscriber's filter matches starts no run for any subscriber, so it costs nothing. A run already waiting for that webhook still resumes. A run [waiting](/webhooks/waiters) for a webhook is suspended, so it uses no compute until the webhook arrives.
91+
92+
Each plan sets limits on the ingest rate, waiting runs, processing concurrency and how long deliveries are kept. See [Limits](/limits#webhook-ingest-rate-limits).

Every endpoint can produce a setup prompt for an AI coding agent. It holds the URL, the events your subscribers filter on, and the steps for registering the endpoint and its signing secret with the provider. Copy it from the endpoints list or the endpoint's page, or read it with the MCP server's `get_webhook_endpoint_details` tool. See [Connect a provider](/webhooks/connect).

A delivery that resumes waiters shows one **Waiting runs** row on its [delivery page](/webhooks/deliveries#where-a-delivery-went) with how many matched, resumed and failed. A delivery that arrives while runs are waiting but matches none of them, and no subscriber takes, is `UNMATCHED`.
