Inquiry with subprocess depth limit of 100https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/process/40005/inquiry-with-subprocess-depth-limit-of-100I have a process model that loops itself. In the screenshot I&#39;m having an error in start process which I labeled as Node 2. The error is the max subprocess depth limit of 100 would be exceeded. My question is, if the subprocess depth limit is 100en-USTelligent Community 12RE: Inquiry with subprocess depth limit of 100https://community.appian.com/thread/152717?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 07 Dec 2025 11:41:02 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:5cdd0635-c72f-43a3-91d4-cadb439c4a3cStefan Helzle<p>I do highly recommend to avoid any recursive approach in process design.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Inquiry with subprocess depth limit of 100https://community.appian.com/thread/152709?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 05 Dec 2025 11:02:40 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:9eba7da0-3ccc-40d1-9fa3-8e2c509a8181Shubham Aware<p>The depth counter only increments when you start a subprocess. Your main process is depth 1, Each time Node 2 starts a new subprocess instance, it goes 2, 3, 4... up to 100. That&#39;s why it ran 100 times.<br />The recursion itself doesn&#39;t add extra depth per iteration ; only the subprocess initiation does. So you get exactly 100 iterations, not ~50.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
