In this post we will discuss how we can enable or disable list throttling using PowerShell in SharePoint 2013. Microsoft has set a default threshold limit of 5000 items to SharePoint list, once you list increased beyond you will get message like: The number of items in this list exceeds the list view threshold. Check out an article on Working with large lists in sharepoint 2013 list throttling.
