# DataModelViewCountIsOutOfLimits validation rule

> Validates that the data model does not exceed the maximum number of views allowed by CDF. Ensures optimal performance and deployment success.

This rule checks that the total number of views referenced by the data model
does not exceed the limit defined in the CDF project.

## Why it matters

CDF enforces limits on the number of views per data model to ensure optimal performance
and resource utilization.

## Example

If the CDF project has a limit of 100 views per data model, and the data model
references 120 views, this validator will raise a `ConsistencyError` issue.
