Hi @Neeta1
This is defined in system property: sn_flow_designer.max_iterations
However, before you change that property, please make sure there is no other way to work around that. Because 2000 iterations in a flow is already very high.
Help others to find a correct solution by marking the appropriate response as accepted solution and helpful.

Check point mentioned by Peter.
Ideally your flow should not have those many iterations.
Please try to optimize the flow or discuss with your business team around the requirement

@Neeta1 2000 iteration is a big number to consume, could you please check your flow logic and see if it can be restructured.
