how many entries can be queried in UniprotkbClient.fetch_many(entry_list) at once.

I am curious to know how many entries I can query in UniprotkbClient.fetch_many(entry_list) at once. Thanks!

In my test, I can query 1000 entries in UniprotkbClient.fetch_many(entry_list) # len(entry_list)=1000 is fine. But 2000 will give this error:

I don't actually know the limit, it's not formalised anywhere in the docs. Although it could be based on the number of accessions, it's also possible that it's just rejecting requests that are too long. A URL containing 2000 accessions seems like it would exceed the typical 8kb GET request limit that some web servers enforce.
