Is there a maximum number of records allowed in Auto-Filter?

The dropdown list can only display 1000 items but you can overcome that

Not to the best of my knowledge, however there is a maximum of items which
will be displayed in the select window. I have gotten around this by setting
up a dummy column with something like =left(main column cell,1)
and first using auto filter on this column to reduce the number of
selections the other column will have available.
