[[esql-limit]]
=== `LIMIT`
**Syntax**
[source,esql]
----
LIMIT max_number_of_rows
----
*Parameters*
`max_number_of_rows`::
The maximum number of rows to return.
*Description*
The `LIMIT` processing command enables you to limit the number of rows that are
returned. If not specified, `LIMIT` defaults to `500`.
A query does not return more than 10,000 rows, regardless of the `LIMIT` value.
You can change this with the `esql.query.result_truncation_max_size` static
cluster setting.
*Example*
