Inconsistent limit given for taxonomy_subtree()

Open rossmounce opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

What is the actual limit for taxonomy_subtree() ?

If I try Tracheophytes it says:

tax_tree <- taxonomy_subtree(10210)
The requested subtree exceeds the limit of 410229 taxa

If I try Spermatophytes it says:

tax_tree <- taxonomy_subtree(10218)
The requested subtree exceeds the limit of 392904 taxa

@rossmounce this seems to be reporting the clade size as the limit. I believe the real limit is 100K taxa (I will check). Not sure where the reporting bug comes from (rotl or OT).

Looks like the limit is 50K. I've found the error in reporting, and will submit a fix in a moment.

Again, seems to be an upstream OT issue, not a rotl issue.

Ok submitted a fix. Sorry you've had so much trouble today @rossmounce!
