Classic Anniversary Realm (Nightslayer) Daily Dungeon Cap (?)

Cummdywumps-akama · July 10, 2025, 4:56pm

Does anybody know the 24hr cap for dungeons on the anniversary classic realm? I heard it was 30, but I keep finding mixed reviews online. I swear I’ve done over 30 before in 24hrs.

I saw a form that said there was a hotfix from classic 2020 that put it to 30 dungeons per char per 24hs instead of per account per 24hrs. Does anybody have any more info on this? Trying to make sure I dont lock myself for raid tonight.

There is no 30 instance limit at all.

I know it’s 5 per hour I don’t remember any hard cap for 24 hours

So a 30 per day per account was implemented part way into Classic release. Pretty sure it landed early in 2020. Is it still in effect? I’ve always assumed so but I never get close to that limit. Notice it was PER ACCOUNT, not per server or per character.

Daily Per-Character Dungeon Limit Update

Hello!

The daily limit was a setting that we chose with great care last year, as we measured that it would impact an extremely low number of legitimate accounts, while giving us a helpful means to limit the impact of exploitative accounts before we could detect them and close them.

Now, with The Burning Crusade Classic pre-patch upon us, we understand that players are about to play WoW in a different way as they level up their Blood Elves and Draenei and then go through the Dark Portal and level some more. Over the next few weeks, the impact of the daily limit is more difficult to know, so we’re going to remove the daily limit on all Burning Crusade realms, effective with the launch of pre-patch.

As before, we will carefully observe player activity so that we can decide what daily limit, if any, is appropriate to enact after Outland leveling activities have peaked.

Thanks!

Can confirm this was not the case - I ran 76 dungeons in 24hrs + 2 raids. I did hear the limit was 80 from someone which could explain why I didn’t hit it, but it’s far past 30 or 50. The comment below on this post which was made during TBC makes the most sense.
