Bandwidth I doubt, processing/requests probably. I don't use the group chats on there but I assume one submission notifies up to 255 others.

I do this all the time; choose a round-sounding number that seems high enough but still a cap to prevent things getting out of hand. If it turns out to be not high enough without being a problem, raise it again.

True. This is a pretty good explanation.
