# Limits

This object contains the limits. This table is the Base Table from which all other tables branch off. Multiple entries in the Limits table can correspond to a single entry in the LimitStructures table.

Table name: **Limits**

<Note>
  \* This field is not required in the CSV source, as we expect any limit from this source to be valid. Therefore, any limit loaded from a CSV file will be set with the `Alive` field to `true`.
