Metabase Rows Limitation

So the way I understand the display limits issue is that if my query results in say 100K rows metabase does not display even the aggregated results of that complete set.

I.e. I can’t work with data that has the potential of returning > 10K rows and expect accurate charting.

Am I misunderstanding that?

In retrospect, I think I am misunderstanding this. The display limit is in place in case there are say 2,000 unique (10,000 aggregate) results to display in a given chart. For example, a bar chart with 2000 bars, not 2000/10000 rows of data it made the chart from. In other words, as long as my charts don’t require that kind of detail, I should be able to crunch queries on datasets with many hundreds of thousands rows. Is that right?
