Documentation

Maximum number of times to repeat a timer, if many repeats are delayed.

Timer invocations can be delayed because Emacs is suspended or busy, or because the system's time changes. If such an occurrence makes it appear that many invocations are overdue, this variable controls how many will really happen.
