I'm not aware of such a restriction. Can you provide a testcase for this or even better create a ticket on https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API ?

At this moment it is not present. Thanks for reminding me, I forgot that I created issue for that ( fixed in code in https://github.com/matkoniecz/CartoCSSHelper/commit/83626497f18233f429f44283f549d327455044f2 ).

BTW, is it considered OK that Overpass limits radius to around 3600km? I encountered problems with set radius to larger values (search without radius was working fine).

There's really no hardcoded limit, which would explain this in the first place. However, memory usage could be quite high for a large radius, which might cause the query to fail eventually. In any case, we would much appreciate a sample query to further investigate this issue.

BTW: I've already created a ticket for the memory issue and will add further details, depending on the kind of issue you came across for your query.
