Each Workflow on Workers Paid now supports 10,000 steps by default, configurable up to 25,000 steps in your `wrangler.jsonc` file:

```json
{
	"workflows": [
		{
			"name": "my-workflow",
			"binding": "MY_WORKFLOW",
			"class_name": "MyWorkflow",
			"limits": {
				"steps": 25000
			}
		}
	]
}
```

Previously, each instance was limited to 1,024 steps. Now, Workflows can support more complex, long-running executions without the additional complexity of recursive or child workflow calls.

Note that the maximum persisted state limit per Workflow instance remains **100 MB** for Workers Free and **1 GB** for Workers Paid. Refer to [Workflows limits](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/reference/limits/) for more information.
