SharePoint Online list Limits and Boundaries

Question

Hello All,

I have recently started to use SharePoint Online lists. I have searched and read articles extensively to understand how the SharePoint Online lists and libraries work. I understand that there is a maximum row limit of 30 million records. However, I would like to know if there are any limits/boundaries for maximum number of columns based on different column types like in SharePoint 2016 or earlier versions.

If there are any such limits, limitations or boundaries for SharePoint online lists and libraries apart from number of rows limit, please help me with the information from reliable sources.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Meher,

Thank you for posting your query in our community.

About the limits/boundaries for maximum number of columns based on different column types like this article, I researched a lot, however, I didn't find any related official article descripted it for SharePoint Online.

An important limitation for SharePoint list is List View Threshold, you can check this article: Living Large with Large Lists and Large Libraries | Microsoft Docs.

And from this article: SharePoint limits - Service Descriptions | Microsoft Docs, we can know below:
