Amazon increased the query result limit for CloudWatch Logs Insights from 10,000 to 100,000 results, reducing the need for users to partition queries by time range. The Logs Insights language supports specifying the expanded limit with the LIMIT command, and existing features like visualization and pattern matching operate across the larger result set.
The GetQueryResults API now supports pagination to handle large results efficiently, returning batches of up to 10,000 results alongside tokens for continued retrieval. This enhancement is accessible in all commercial AWS regions using interfaces such as the CloudWatch console and AWS SDKs.
