Assuming the value is a Postgre Int (signed 4 bytes) - negative values not used - the possible max value is

2,147,483,648 (if my maths serves me correctly)

Even if

999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

was an overly extreme example it seems to me that accepting over 2 Billion is a more than generous
