We currently have 5 unattended runtimes/servers but more than 50 automations competing for execution during business hours.
The challenge is:
- Many automations require execution within a limited daytime window
- We can execute only 5 automations concurrently
- Due to runtime limitations, some priority processes are delayed beyond their required execution window
Our question is NOT about extending or violating licensing limits.
We want to understand:
- Whether UiPath supports any execution-capacity model based on cumulative runtime hours instead of fixed concurrent runtimes
- Whether unused runtime capacity outside business hours can somehow be leveraged during peak daytime load
- Best practices for handling large automation volumes with limited unattended runtimes
- Recommendations around orchestration, queue-based execution, workload balancing, or runtime optimization
Example:
If a runtime is used only 10–11 hours/day, can the unused remaining time capacity be redistributed in any supported way across additional servers/machines during peak hours?
Or is UiPath licensing strictly limited by concurrent runtime count regardless of total runtime hours consumed?
