Is there a limit for the number of simultaneous async 'urlfetch'es issued in a request in GAE?

I did not find the answer in documentation and I see inconsistent answers to this old question, so I wonder if there is an actual limit for the number of urlfetches running in parallel inside a request in google app engine?

AFAIK there still is no such limit mentioned in the documentation and/or apparent in the SDK code.

But you could actually perform the few tests pretty documented in that fairly old question you referenced to gauge the actual status today.

Note: I'd highly recommend performing the tests in app code actually deployed on GAE, not running locally through the SDK - there may be behavioural differences which may skew the test results significantly. See, for example, FetchOptions withLimit() does not reduce query execution time (Google App Engine) (thought that's in respect to performance of the datastore, not urlfetch).
