Optimize the size of your rules
The file size of the rules matters. The maximum rules quota is set to be 256KB by default. You can set the custom value between 64KB and to 256KBs. meaning that even a single character counts when you name your processes. Here are some tips to optimize file size, and ensure that the file size isn't causing issues:
Rename lengthy rule names. Don't give long, complicated names when creating a new rule. Try to keep it as short as possible in order to decrease the final file size. For example, we recommend using abbreviations.
Delete rules. It's good practice to remove any rule you no longer use, or rarely ever run. Doing so will continue to decrease the file size, and declutter your rule folder.
Combine similar rules. If you have multiple rules that accomplish similar results, it might be best to combine them into one single rule instead. Merge the steps together in order to reduce file size and open a slot for a new rule.
