When subscribing to data and routing deliveries directly to the Planet Insights Platform/Image Collections, the system automatically simplifies and truncates geometries to a maximum of 100 vertices.
While the Planet’s Subscriptions API explicitly allows up to 1,500 vertices per polygon/multipolygon subscription, any complex agricultural boundaries or multi-field groupings that leverage this higher limit get severely mangled and distorted during platform ingestion. This rendering issue forces customers to revert to creating hundreds of fragmented, individual subscriptions for separate fields just to keep the geometry clean and accurate under 100 points, causing them to rapidly approach active subscription ceilings.
Proposed Solution / Options
Raise the Ingestion Vertex Cap: Increase the ingestion vertex limit from 100 points to align closer with the Subscriptions API limit (up to 1,500 vertices) to natively accommodate complex agricultural plots.
