To prevent exhausting server resources, we recommend capping the total number of resources that are matched by a search. The configuration for each SCIM 2.0 resource type contains a lookthrough-limit property that defines this limit (the default lookthrough-limit value is 500).

If a search request exceeds the lookthrough limit, the client receives a 400 response with an error message similar to the following:
{
	"detail": "The search request matched too many results",
	"schemas": ["urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:Error"],
	"scimType": "tooMany",
	“status”: "400"
}

To prevent this error, the client should refine its search filter to return fewer matches.
