Hii _onto_
The 2,000-character limit is the theoretical maximum, but in practice Power BI enforces a lower effective limit once URL encoding and internal parsing are applied. Characters used by the report URL itself, the in operator syntax, commas, quotes, and encoded values (for example %20) all count toward the limit, which is why you hit the ceiling around >>1,600–1,700 characters.
There is no way to increase this limit. To work around it, avoid long IN lists in the URL use a single key or group parameter, pass an ID instead of values, or store the filter values in a table and filter by a reference key rather than embedding all values in the query string.
