Insertion Points [x skipped]

Sorry, but I couldn't find this explained anywhere. When the Scan queue reports "[x skipped]" under Insertion points, what does that mean? Thanks.

You can configure whether to set a limit on the number of insertion points that will be generated for each base request, thereby preventing your scans from becoming stalled if they encounter requests containing huge numbers of parameters. In cases where the number of insertion points is curtailed by this limit, the item's entry in the audit items view will indicate the number of insertion points that were skipped, enabling you to manually review the base request and decide if it is worth performing a full scan of all its possible insertion points. https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/scanning/audit-options#misc-insertion-point-options
