I need to pull info on 185 million files vi the REST API, which serially will take hours. If I setup parallel threads what is the Max that ONTAP supports, vs what is Best Practice?

in theory, 100k is the limit and that can be changed.
If not mistaken, things like python-requests and harvest have a limit of 20 sessions and that can be changed as well
security session limit request create

#

unless you're pulling info from an eseries, then it'd be different.
