What Do I Do If the Error Message "ERR: Max-select-series Limit Exceeded" Is Displayed?

If the timeline involved in the result returned by a query statement exceeds the limit, the error "max-select-series limit exceeded" is triggered. Two solutions are available:

  1. Optimize the query statement and add timeline constraints. Tag restriction information is added to the WHERE statement to narrow down the tag query scope and ensure that the timeline restriction is not exceeded.
  2. Scale up the instance specifications. The number of timelines allowed for query is related to the instance specifications. The larger the instance specifications, the larger the number of timelines allowed.

The limit keyword cannot reduce the timelines involved in the query. Therefore, the error cannot be rectified by using the keyword.
