This increase lets you pull even more data with the `LIMIT` clause when you create NRQL queries, dashboards, and more. * This change also affects the `LIMIT MAX` clause, increasing posted results from 2,000 to 5,000. * If you have an existing query that uses the `LIMIT MAX` clause, your results now reflect the 5,000 limit, assuming the underlying data is populous enough. * Some existing queries that successfully posted results with `LIMIT MAX` may fail. Larger limits can cause timeouts, or result in failure due to complexity. * You can use `LIMIT 2000` instead of `LIMIT MAX` to only display 2,000 results. -This change won't affect existing queries if they lack a `LIMIT` clause, use default result limits, or specify an explicit result below 2,000. +This change won't affect existing queries if they lack a `LIMIT` clause, use default result limits, or specify an explicit result below 2,000. + +## What do you need to do? + +Existing queries using LIMIT MAX may return more data than before. This could potentially slow down dashboards or reports that use those queries. + +To avoid unintended changes, update any queries using `LIMIT MAX` to specify `LIMIT 2000` by February 5th. This will ensure they continue to behave as expected after the limit increase.
