Is there a upper limit on how many boolean 'should' queries that I can run on an single API call?

Say I have my query as

```auto
{
	"query": {
		"bool": {
			"should": [{
					"prefix": {
						"key1": <Path 1>
					}
				},
				{
					"prefix": {
						"key2": <Path 2>
					}
				},
                                {
					"prefix": {
						"keyn": <Path n>
					}
				}
			]
		}
	}
}

```

Is there a cap on `n`?
