Hello,

What are (or where can I find) the limitations of Postman Variables?

For example:

- What is the maximum amount of different variables that we can store?
- What is the maximum capacity of a single variable?
- Is this different for the environment, global, and collection variables?

by Googling these question I didn’t get the answer I needed. I did find these two threads though:  
[Github: Allow large values in inputs (more than 0.5MB) #2547](https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/2547)
