# 54509: Query expression contains too many operators

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

The query expression must contain less than 30 operators.

### Possible causes

* The query expression contains 30 or more operators, probably a user-facing edge case or a programming error.

### Possible solutions

* Rewrite the query or the code generating it to use fewer operators or issue separate queries. You can use any combination of the following operators: `and`, `or`, `in`, `eq`, `not_in`, `not_eq `, `contains`, however overall number of operators in any query expression must be less than 30.
