+- If a transaction does not roll back or commit after the number of statements exceeds `stmt-count-limit`, TiDB returns the `statement count 5001 exceeds the transaction limitation, autocommit = false` error.

If you use the pessimistic transaction or have disabled the transaction retry, the number of statements in a transaction is not limited by this configuration.
