+## Limitations
+
+### Number of Artifacts
+
+Within an individual job, there is a limit of 10 artifacts that can be created for that job.
+
+You may also be limited by Artifacts if you have exceeded your shared storage quota. Storage is calculated every 6-12 hours. See [the documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions#calculating-minute-and-storage-spending) for more info.
+
+### Zip archives
+
+When an Artifact is uploaded, all the files are assembled into an immutable Zip archive. There is currently no way to download artifacts in a format other than a Zip or to download individual artifact contents.
+
+### Permission Loss
+
+File permissions are not maintained during artifact upload. All directories will have `755` and all files will have `644`. For example, if you make a file executable using `chmod` and then upload that file, post-download the file is no longer guaranteed to be set as an executable.
+
+If you must preserve permissions, you can `tar` all of your files together before artifact upload. Post download, the `tar` file will maintain file permissions and case sensitivity.
+
+```yaml
+- name: 'Tar files'
+ run: tar -cvf my_files.tar /path/to/my/directory
+
+- name: 'Upload Artifact'
+ uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+ with:
+ name: my-artifact
+ path: my_files.tar
+```

 ## Where does the upload go?
 
 At the bottom of the workflow summary page, there is a dedicated section for artifacts. Here's a screenshot of something you might see:
