I read this doc: Understand How Metadata Works in User Profiles Why data unrelated to user authentication should always be stored in an external database and not in the user profile metadata? What if I enter personal information (address, etc.)? Are there any penalties?

Hi @hatai Information you need to create access tokens or ID tokens, or anything related to IAM can be stored in Auth0, there are no penalties. But using Auth0 as a general purpose database may cause you to have issues with rate limiting. John
