What counts as unbounded?

Question

I'm getting an unbounded query error with the search jql endpoint. Here is my JQL:

((type IN standardWorkTypes() AND type NOT IN ("Initiative","Phase","Epic"))) AND sprint in (365,333,332,299,266,205) AND resolved >= "2025-08-13"

I'm not quite sure how this is "unbounded". Seems like I have a lot of limitations on it.

The error I'm getting is: Unbounded JQL queries are not allowed here. Please add a search restriction to your query.

Anyone know what I need to add to not trigger that error?

Thanks!

The main problem is that they work directly via the browser URL, it's something in requestJira that is flagging them as "unbounded".

No, I even tried removing the sprint list. I'm now trying a variety of other options just to see if I can find out what counts as "unbounded"

Are you able to pull results if you reduced your sprint list? Have you tried to extract this information using API? From what I read further you have to refine your JQL so it can return the max allowed. I would add one sprint at a time and refine.
