I am reading:
The following section: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/timechart
limitSyntax: limit=(top | bottom) <int>Description: Specifies a limit for the number of distinct values of the split-by field to return. If set to limit=0, all distinct values are used. Setting limit=N or limit=top N keeps the N highest scoring distinct values of the split-by field. Setting limit=bottom N keeps the lowest scoring distinct values of the split-by field. All other values are grouped into 'OTHER', as long as useother is not set to false. The scoring is determined as follows:
Ties in scoring are broken lexicographically, based on the value of the split-by field. For example, 'BAR' takes precedence over 'bar', which takes precedence over 'foo'. See Usage.Default: top 10
When I try and create a timechart using the limit=top 25 the top is red and I receive the following error in Splunk: Error in 'SearchProcessor': Invalid option value. Expecting a 'non-negative integer' for option 'limit'. Instead got 'top'.
Am I misusing or misinterpreting the documentation?
Make sure the documentation matches the version you use. The top/bottom settings weren't documented until 8.1.0 so they make not be available until that version (or later). If the doc version matches your version of Splunk then consider opening a support request and submitting feedback on the docs page.

Ahh. Ok. I missed that. We are on 8.0.3 for the time being. Thanks for the sanity check.
