# plotOptions.mappoint.animationLimit

For some series, there is a limit that shuts down animation by default when the total number of points in the chart is too high. For example, for a column chart and its derivatives, animation does not run if there is more than 250 points totally. To disable this cap, set `animationLimit` to `Infinity`. This option works if animation is fired on individual points, not on a group of points like e.g. during the initial animation.
