-    The theoretical maximum is 2,147,483,647 (``box.schema.FIELD_MAX``). The

 .. _limitations_bytes_in_tuple:
 
-**Number of bytes in a tuple**
+Number of bytes in a tuple
+--------------------------
 
-    The maximal number of bytes in a tuple is roughly equal to
-    :ref:`memtx_max_tuple_size <cfg_storage-memtx_max_tuple_size>` or
-    :ref:`vinyl_max_tuple_size <cfg_storage-vinyl_max_tuple_size>`
-    (with a metadata
-    overhead of about 20 bytes per tuple, which is added on top of useful bytes).
-    By default, the value of either ``memtx_max_tuple_size`` or
-    ``vinyl_max_tuple_size`` is 1,048,576. To increase it,
-    specify a larger value when starting the Tarantool instance.
-    For example, ``box.cfg{memtx_max_tuple_size=2*1048576}``.

-**Number of bytes in an index key**
+Number of bytes in an index key
+-------------------------------
 
-    If a field in a tuple can contain a million bytes, then the index key
-    can contain a million bytes, so the maximum is determined by factors
-    such as :ref:`Number of bytes in a tuple <limitations_bytes_in_tuple>`,
-    not by the index support.

+Number of elements in array fields in a space with a multikey index
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-    In a Tarantool space that has :ref:`multikey indexes <box_space-path_multikey>`,
-    any tuple cannot contain more than ~8,000 elements in a field indexed with that multikey index.
-    This is because every element has 4 bytes of metadata, and the tuple's metadata,
-    which includes multikey metadata, cannot exceed 2^16 bytes.
