+ValueError: Exceeds the limit (4300) for integer string conversion:
+   value has 5432 digits; use sys.set_int_max_str_digits()
+   to increase the limit.
+```
+
+#### 💡 Explanation:
+This call to `int()` works fine in Python 3.10.6 and raises a ValueError in Python 3.10.8. Note that Python can still work with large integers. The error is only raised when converting between integers and strings.
+
+Fortunately, you can increase the limit for the allowed number of digits when you expect an operation to exceed it. To do this, you can use one of the following:
+- The -X int_max_str_digits command-line flag
+- The set_int_max_str_digits() function from the sys module
+- The PYTHONINTMAXSTRDIGITS environment variable
+
+[Check the documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#int-max-str-digits) for more details on changing the default limit if you expect your code to exceed this value.
