Some InfoPath form controls, actions, and features require the browser to communicate with the server during a form session. This exchange of data during the session is called a postback, and usually occurs when a form feature has to send data to the server for processing. Unnecessary postbacks impose an additional load on both the browser and the server. To protect the server, a threshold is set for the maximum number of postbacks per session. This limits the number of postbacks that can be executed during a single session when a user is filling out a form, and prevents malicious users from trying to bring down the server.
For SharePoint On-premise following User Session Settings are configurable by Using Central Administration. As Described in https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262263.aspx#authenticate
- Thresholds
[Number of postbacks per session] --Default is 75
[Number of actions per postback] --Default is 200
- User Sessions
[Active sessions should be terminated after] -Default is 1,440 Minutes
[Maximum size of user session data]-Default is 4096 Kb
In case of SharePoint Online (a.k.a Office 365 ), these settings are not available in Tenant or SharePoint Admin site . As it is a shared Farm Architecture , they have been set the Default limits as Hard limits to avoid Perf Degradations & prevent DOS Attacks.
