Is there a limit on variables? If so, is it chapter-dependant or for the entire story?

Just lost a lot of work setting up state flags for my story. Does anyone know before I continue working on it if there is a limit on the amount of variables a story can have, or if it is just each chapter that has a limit?

As for a suggestion, a warning that "This chapter/story has reached its variable limit" would be nice, before saving a chapter.

There is a technical limit for the number of Conditions and Score Changes for each chapter. The exact number mostly depends on the length of the variable name.
With a normal length, it should be possible to add at least 200 Score Changes in one chapter. If you add too many and save the chapter, the excess Score Changes are discarded.
The technical limit for variables in a story is way higher. I think @Greyrock uses a lot of variables in their story, so they might be able to tell you how many variables won't be too many.

That means it isn't possible to give you an exact number.
