The Ceiling Height Limit is a limit designed by Rockstar to limit the height that be reached by the player.
The limit is not the same in every Grand Theft Auto game. In Grand Theft Auto III, there is no limit.
The main reason of putting a height limit is to prevent the player from reaching altitudes higher than what the developers intended. Editing this limit is difficult as it is hardcoded into the EXE.

Trivia
- In all games with a height limit, it is possible to exceed the height limit by a few metres by flying upwards quickly. Note that this process only lasts a few seconds before you start dropping.
- GTA V has the highest ceiling limit to date.
- The easiet and fastest way to reach a high altitude in GTA V is to use the P-996 Lazer and fly directly upwards.
