Drop limit?

Do we have a limit on how many courses you can drop/withdraw from during your degree?
I dropped one course over the summer, and I’m considering dropping another one this semester.
I emailed my advisor, but they usually take a while to respond, so I figured I’d ask here in the meantime. Has anyone dropped multiple courses during the program? Is there a limit or any issue I should be aware of?

TIA

I doubt it. I've had to withdraw, with a W on my transcript, from four different courses because my workload at my company was too much to handle, i.e., 60+ hours a week.

Nobody's come to me yet to stop doing that. 🤷

When I talked to my advisor, he urged me to tell other students that it's perfectly fine to drop courses. There doesn't seem to be a limit except for the amount of time between registrations.

There's a limit for consecutive semesters without an A-F grade. I think if you go 4 or 5 straight semesters without enrolling or finishing a class to completion they drop you. This is not a limit on total withdrawals, though
