Salesforce Maps: Apex Governor Limit Warning Emails

This article explains why Salesforce Maps can trigger Apex Governor Limit Warning Emails, and how to stop receiving them if they aren't useful to you.

Why This Happens

Salesforce Maps performs Apex operations behind the scenes — for example, when Plot on Load (a Maps setting that automatically plots records on the map as soon as a page loads) runs, or when a user opens the Maps Configuration page. These operations consume Apex governor limits, such as SOQL queries or CPU time, as part of normal Maps functionality.

Per Salesforce documentation, an Apex Governor Limit Warning Email is automatically sent any time a transaction consumes 50% or more of an allocated governor limit. This 50% threshold is a platform-level setting and can't be changed.

Is Anything Wrong?

No. Receiving this warning email does not mean Maps is malfunctioning or that data is at risk. It simply means a Maps operation used a meaningful share of an available Apex limit — there is room to optimize, but nothing is broken.

How to Stop Receiving These Emails

Users can safely ignore these warning emails related to Maps. If you'd rather not receive them at all, you can turn off the setting on your own user record:

1. Go to Setup and open your user record (or the affected user's record, if you're an admin).
2. Locate the Send Apex Warning Emails checkbox.
3. Uncheck the box and save.

Once unchecked, that user will no longer receive Apex Governor Limit Warning Emails, including those triggered by Salesforce Maps.
