There is no hardcoded threshold.
If this happens with no third party plugins active.
Either

  1. you have a single note that is causing obsidian parsers to malfunction when it is read or
  2. the sum of your notes (and their links) causes Obsidian to use more memory than iOS likes and it kills it. For this we have recourse.

For 1. I suggest you to search if you have large markdown notes (greater than 50kb) and take them out of your vault, and see if it helps.
