Length limit for parameter in TFS API?

I try to get the last builds of some build definitions in my TFS (Team Foundation Server) with:

project/_apis/build/builds?definitions=1000,1001&queryOrder=queueTimeDescending&minTime=2020-05-03T00:00:00

This works until the string for "definitions" reach a limit of 440 definitions or 1984 characters. Then I get a 404-Error on the request.

Is there such an (undocumented) limit in the number of definitions or length for the parameter string?

It is not clearly state how long url can be, but it looks that you reached the limit. However according to this What is a safe maximum length a segment in a URL path should be? it is good practice to do not extend 2000 characters. I see that you count almost 2K, so this maybe is your case.

You can also check this topic on developer community. There were discussion about this with conclusion:

At present, you can only reduce the length of URL.
