Error: 8623, Severity: 16, State: 1. The query processor ran out of internal resources

Caught out when generating some dynamic sql today. The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not produce a query plan. This is a rare event and only expected for extremely complex queries or queries that reference a very large number of tables or partitions. Please simplify the query. If you believe you have received this message in error, contact Customer Support Services for more information. Dynamically generating a the IN clause and I accidentally passed a list of over 22,000 values. It turns out IN can't take more than 10,000 values. 8623 The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not produce a query plan. I've obviously rewritten it, but thought the error message interesting.
