What it does

Caps how many public IP addresses the public IP engine processes in one run, for testing.

When set

Keeps only the first N addresses after discovery, so runs are faster and use fewer Shodan credits, but the inventory and reports are incomplete. A command-line value wins over this.

When blank or default

Left blank, the default applies: No limit (every discovered public IP).

Risk and how to reverse it

Changes what is collected from the next run: narrowing it means some assets or data are not collected, so they look absent in profiles, CIs and reports (absence is never read as fixed). Reversible: change it back; the next run collects again.
