What is the statute of limitations in a breach of contract action?

Ordinarily, "a cause of action accrues" (the limitations period begins to run), upon commission of the claimed civil wrong. (City of Pasadena v. Superior Court (2017) 12 Cal.App.5th 1340, 1348.) But a "cause of action upon a contract . . . shall not be deemed to have accrued until the discovery of the loss or damage suffered by the aggrieved party." ( 339, subd. (1).) The statute of limitations in a breach of contract cause of action, or a claim for money had and received, is two years. (See 339.)
