Hi @rkidev,

The download CSV limit is impacted by setting `xpack.reporting.csv.maxSizeBytes` as discussed in [this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/reporting-generate-csv-maximum-limit/134692).

I would tread carefully on increasing the threshold as it has the potential to cause performance issues. There are some guidelines [here in the documentation that should help if you want to tweak the settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.16/reporting-settings-kb.html#reporting-csv-settings). Alternatively can you try to split the download into 2?
