There is no limit but typically animations are done in 50-250 frames.

How can I move, delete, copy paste keyframes?
Hold the middle button with one finger and use another finger to slide across the timeline. A keyframe selection rectangle will appear. Now, there are four options:
Tap the “trash” button to remove the selected keys.
Tap the 2nd “duplicate” icon. When the selected area turns green, it means the selected keys have been copied. Now, you’ll be able to move the copied keys.
Move the selected area without any additional button/icon. The existing keys will move.
Tap on another place along the timeline to cancel the selection box.
