Hi how do i change the limits in config file ?  
i don’t understand the docs. should i edit yml file or the json.  
i’ve tried both and it doesn’t work…  
i want to set these to errors to be unlimited:

```auto
Map.js:94 Server responded with 400: {"error":{"code":2004,"message":"Request parameters exceed the server configuration limits. The approximated route distance must not be greater than 100000.0 meters."},"info":{"engine":{"build_date":"2023-11-16T15:05:35Z","version":"7.2.0"},"timestamp":1708820585903}}

```

and :

```auto
Error response: {"code":3,"error":"Request parameters exceed the server configuration limits. Only a total of 2500 routes are allowed."}

```

I have the same problem… I’d wish to set boundaries for map

Hi @DejavuDaniel

the first one can be adjusted with `maximum_distance` in [ors.engine.profiles | openrouteservice backend documentation](https://giscience.github.io/openrouteservice/run-instance/configuration/ors/engine/profiles#ors-engine-profiles)

the second one seems to be a matrix response where you can set the max pairs in:

> **[ors.endpoints.matrix | openrouteservice backend documentation](https://giscience.github.io/openrouteservice/run-instance/configuration/ors/endpoints/matrix)**
>
> openrouteservice backend documentation

Hi @amandus,

What I mean is the bounding box (is there one?) of the map data being  
processed.

My setup does seem to work ok, but when I try i get always error saying  
that the point(s) is/are invalid. But when I try agains API playground and  
not developer settings… it rocks?

The data used is limited to your PBF file.

Make sure you use the correct [source\_file](https://giscience.github.io/openrouteservice/run-instance/configuration/ors/engine/#ors-engine) and rebuild the graphs. ([Remove graphs folder or set `REBUILD_GRAPHS`](https://giscience.github.io/openrouteservice/run-instance/running-with-docker#configure))
