the limit

As far as possible

The limit is the point beyond which something cannot or should not go—a boundary of capacity, tolerance, or possibility: There's a limit to my patience.

In mathematics, a limit is the value a function approaches as its input approaches some point.

The phrase the limit often emphasizes an extreme: That kid is the limit means they're exasperating beyond endurance.

The sky's the limit suggests boundless possibility.
