Technically , there is no limit on Choice field. But as a best practice, ServiceNow recommends to avoid going beyond 10-15 for user experience.
Reason being , the long choice list , it can breaks the Web form look when user will scroll & scroll. No User does not like long lists.
ServiceNow recommends Choice lists with large quantities of choices (arbitrary rule of thumb is > 15) are better suited to reference fields if only to leverage search ability and auto-complete.
Data that changes regularly are better suited to reference fields than choice lists.
