Does anybody know how quickly the Bayesian Optimization algorithm slows down as a function of the dimension of the search space? What is a good estimate of the maximum dimension that one can reasonably use? I am thinking especially of GPyOpt and GPFlowOpt.

As a general rule of thumb, Bayesian optimisation becomes ineffective when the dimension of the search space is > 15. This will obviously depend on volume and utility function landscape. Check https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.10675 for an example of bayesian optimisation coupled with some reversible dimensional reduction (an auto-encoder there).
