#### Requirements and limitations
- The maximum number of jobs that a single job can need in the `needs:` array is limited:
- For GitLab.com, the limit is 50. For more information, see our
[infrastructure issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/-/issues/7541).
- For self-managed instances, the default limit is 50. This limit [can be changed](#changing-the-needs-job-limit).
- If `needs:` refers to a job that uses the [`parallel`](#parallel) keyword,
it depends on all jobs created in parallel, not just one job. It also downloads
artifacts from all the parallel jobs by default. If the artifacts have the same
name, they overwrite each other and only the last one downloaded is saved.
- In [GitLab 14.1 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30632) you
can refer to jobs in the same stage as the job you are configuring. This feature is
enabled on GitLab.com and ready for production use. On self-managed [GitLab 14.2 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30632)

- `needs:` is similar to `dependencies:` in that it must use jobs from prior stages,
meaning it's impossible to create circular dependencies. Depending on jobs in the
current stage is not possible either, but [an issue exists](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30632).
