Time Based Workflows

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of time base workflows that can be in the 'workflow queue' at any given time?  I know that salesforce limits the # of time triggers an org can execute per hour ( EE = 500, UE = 1000) but I'm curious to know if there is a cap on the # that can be queued.

Re: Time Based Workflows

From an older copy of the Force.com Cookbook, the limits are:

 

Enterprise Edition

 

  • 40 time-dependent actions per time trigger, but no more than 10 workflow emails alerts, 10 workflow tasks,10 field updates and 10 outbound messages. 

  • Enterprise Edition can process up to 1,000 time triggers per hour and 20,000 time triggers per day. 

 

Unlimited Edition

 

  • 40 time-dependent actions per time trigger, but no more than 10 workflow emails alerts, 10 workflow tasks,10 field updates and 10 outbound messages. 

  • Unlimited Edition can process up to 5,000 time triggers per hour and 100,000 time triggers per day. 

This doesn't really answer the # that can be queued, but it does give you some idea of the number of time triggers that can be processed in a 24 hour period.
