cron:purge error

Hi, I was checking my logs today and I see (image attached) crons:purge - Your request couldn't be completed. Try again later. I have one cron that runs nightly so presumably these error messages have been going on since yesterday night. My cron shows scheduled and I have no idea how to stop this or fix this, I haven't changed anything in my crons or actions and all other cron executions have been successful:...

any recommendation on how to store PII?

hi there, im planning to store some PII in the db. while i think convex's architecture is secure, im afraid of getting myself compromised and having attackers peek into my table. hence, im considering storing some sort of encryption key on a 3rd party provider (maybe aws or railway). does that make sense or im overengineering stuff?

`convex dev` can't reach server

I'm on windows with WSL, this was working fine a few hours ago. Now it's not able to deploy my changes. And it's not unique to this project, I have another that times out and keeps trying like this. I am able to browse convex dashboard, and I can run other commands that access the network so it's likely not a connectivity issue.

Typescript inference help in monorepo

I have a typescript type created using the convex/values schema validator and turned into a TS type using the Infer helper but it seems to be having issues inferring it. I have a monorepo setup using turborepo and it is inferring correctly when i hover directly over the type in the backend package (1st image) but it seems to lose that inferance and becomes type any in my app (2nd image). Any ideas? Is this a limitation of convex/values because I also tested with a very simple type it seems to work crossing package boundaries but not this complex type. Thanks for the help! ```ts export const VGetMessageDetailReturn = v.object({ ...omit(Messages.withSystemFields, ["linkedMessages"]),...

One large table vs many small tables

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone did any performance benchmarks between having many (100s) of small tables vs having a single large (millions of rows) table. If there are any articles on this I'd love to read, or if anyone has any insights or recommendations on the topic. Thanks in advance!...

Validator record types with literals as keys.

Is it possible to create convex validator types such as

type player = Record<"str" | "dex" | "int", number>

type player = Record<"str" | "dex" | "int", number>

There is a record type in convex but I'm running into schema validation issues when using literals as keys instead of strings....

getUserIdentity returning null on certain page but not on home page. Using Convex with Clerk.

Hello, I am using Clerk auth with Convex and am accessing Google Calendar events. On the home page, I have a Calendar component that executes a listCalendarEvents action in my google.ts backend file. This function calls getUserIdentity to retrieve the user_id and pass that into the getUserOauthAccessToken function to retrieve the access token. This Calendar component is wrapped in the Authenticated component as follows: ```...

Too many reads in a single function execution (limit: 4096)

I am getting below error for the first function that I am sharing below, I could not find the reason since all functions inside the function use indices. Can someone help me spot the problem?

Granular RLS (e.g. oldDoc/newDoc)

Using rowLevelSecurity from convex-helpers, is it possible to set up granular permissions based on e.g. the kind of modification being made? Similarly to how triggers have change.oldDoc and change.newDoc For example, if you have role = "user" | "admin" on the users schema and write an RLS rule such that a user can only modify their own document - wouldn't a user be able to change their own role to admin? What's the best approach to granular RLS?...

Searching two columns

Trying to find a way to search by two columns, with pagination. withSearchIndex works, when we look for one column but I need to search inside 2 columns.

Prod deploy mysteriously failing with 400 Bad Request: UnexpectedAuthHeaderFormat

I was able to successfully deploy my project on Vercel when I last changed it on 5 Mar 2025, but I made a frontend change today (no Convex changes) and the convex deploy step is now failing with this error:

400 Bad Request: UnexpectedAuthHeaderFormat: Unexpected auth header format. If you are trying to use preview deployments, please generate a new key in the Convex dashboard.

I am running into a problem with Figma Oauth 2.0 callback which returns with ?code=&state= appended to the return URL. Now, the ?code part of it is getting consumed by ConvexAuth. I'd love some help on getting around it. I edited my middleware.ts to do the following: ```export default convexAuthNextjsMiddleware((request) => { const url = new URL(request.url)...
