## Limits for .CSV exports

Results exported to .CSV have row limits based on the metric type. If the data table contains multiple metrics of different kinds, the smallest row limit applies. Amplitude Analytics prunes rows exceeding the limit, and they don't appear in the exported .CSV.

are the csv limits in this article the same as the limits described in this article https://amplitude.com/docs/faq/limits.

This article says "Any metric with attribution has a limit of 20 rows." but this article https://amplitude.com/docs/faq/limits says "The limit is 10 with attribution". So is the limit 10 or 20?

there are no such thing as an event column, though. It is still an inline metric.

When you export results to CSV, the maximum row count depends on the column type: event columns have one limit, while metric columns have limits that vary by metric type. If the data table contains multiple columns with different limits, the smallest limit applies. Amplitude prunes rows exceeding the limit, and they don't appear in the exported CSV.
