Parameter Store - maximum version number?

Question

Hey. 
I have a Lambda which updates a value in SSM Parameter store every 1 minute. 
So that value changes 1440 times during a day. 
AWS records the version number of a parameter, which basically tells us how many times particular parameter was changed.

I wonder whether there's a upper limit how many times a given parameter can be updated? 
For instance, it cannot be higher than maximum integer value which is: 2147483647 ?

Accepted Answer

"You can create and maintain up to 100 versions of a parameter. After you have created 100 versions of a parameter, each time you create a new version, the oldest version of the parameter is removed from history to make room for the new version."[1]

You can update it how many times you want, but can't keep track of all.

If you still have any question please let me know.

Have a nice day.

Yes I was aware of 100 versions.

"You can update it how many times you want, but can't keep track of all."

So that's the answer. Thanks! :)
