Cap REST API page size to prevent unbounded queries - #1013
Merged
Conversation
A client requesting large limit values (e.g. limit=5000) in parallel caused an out-of-memory crash on openalyx. Add LimitedLimitOffsetPagination with max_limit=1000 as the default DRF pagination class. Fixes int-brain-lab/iblalyx#151
