+<pre class="idl">

+  readonly attribute unsigned long maxRenderLayers;

+</pre>
+
+The <dfn attribute for="XRSession">maxRenderLayers</dfn> represents the maximum number of layers that the compositor MUST handle, and thus the maximum size of any {{XRRenderStateInit}}'s {{XRRenderStateInit/layers}} array. It SHOULD be possible to create more than this number of layers at a given time.
+
+NOTE: This guidance is not intended to provide a limit on the number of layers allocatable by the user agent, as described in [[#xrlayerallocation|Allocation of layers]]. User Agents may allow e.g. for 20 layers to be created, while only allowing 10 at a time to be set via {{XRSession/updateRenderState()}}. It is also worth noting that because different layers may require a different amount of backend power or objects, user agents have some discretion in setting the `maxRenderLayers` value to ensure that at least that many layers can be rendered. However, user agents still need to reject whenever more layers are passed in, and cannot reject when less are passed in to updateRenderState.
 
 Each {{XRSession}} has an internal [=WeakSet=] <dfn dfn-for="XRSession">bindings</dfn> that holds weak references to each {{XRWebGLBinding}} that was created with that session.
