- `-search.maxSeries` limits the number of time series, which may be returned from [/api/v1/series](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#finding-series-by-label-matchers). This endpoint is used mostly by Grafana for auto-completion of metric names, label names and label values. Queries to this endpoint may take big amounts of CPU time and memory when the database contains big number of unique time series because of [high churn rate](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/FAQ.html#what-is-high-churn-rate). In this case it might be useful to set the `-search.maxSeries` to quite low value in order limit CPU and memory usage.

- `-search.maxTagValueSuffixesPerSearch` limits the number of entries, which may be returned from `/metrics/find` endpoint. See [Graphite Metrics API usage docs](#graphite-metrics-api-usage).
