I encountered the "more than 100 backtrace frames" case when investigating the bug of pg_log_query_plan() patch [1].
Sincethe function that the patch added can be called repeatedly during call to that function, the backtrace became
largerthan 100. I think this is not general case, so basically 100 sounds enough limit size to me.
OTOH I think it's helpful if the limit is documented when I occasionally encounter the case and want to understand why
allbacktrace frames are not logged.
