I don't know offhand of any documentation mentioning it, but in this blog from the InfoPath team, the blog author acknowledges this limit (in the comments):

You can also verify this for yourself, by creating a rule like this on a field:

Set (self) to expression . + 1

Then preview the form and place a 0 in this field and tab out. The rule will error out and the value in the field will be 15, meaning the rule executed 15 times before the error.

Hi, Jimmy,

I am rather curious. Is it empirical number because there are a lot of posts about it but neither that I could find from Microsoft "docs"

I don't know of any strict limit. 16 is the maximum number of times that a field can cause its own value to change, either directly or indirectly, and that can't be changed. But generally you shouldn't use recursive logic in your form anyway.

Can anyone comfirm the maximum number of actions per user interaction on am IP 2010 form. I have found one small post that put this number at 16 actions. If this is true can it be changed in any way?
