maximum cluster user accounts

Hello

i found the doc says

"The maximum number of cluster user accounts you can create is 100. This limit includes the Active Directory domain user accounts that are added to the cluster. There is no limit to the number of SVM user accounts you can create for an SVM."

https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1636068/html/GUID-B0793C8B-235E-4810-B3E7-EE4D46D9EEC0.html

I already testing in my LAB, the 100 limit is for authmethod using password,

our production filer is using publickey, so didn't hit the limit.
