Badge ID limit?

#1

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong topic to post this in.

I am currently working on a website that will display a list of Roblox’s hardest badges. I am trying to have a database store the badge ids for the website (since the list needs to be synced with the website and a Roblox game, and the list will be community maintained), I know that Roblox recently changed badge ids to be 16 digits long, however, I could not find any information about whether badge ids could go over the 16 digit number 2^53 (9007199254740992), which I need to know to properly store and retrieve the badge ids from my database.

If anyone has some information on the topic please let me know. Thank you. :smiley:

Don’t have a definitive answer for you, but I’m checking out random games with a lot of recent badges like this one, and if it were possible to have 2^53 < badgeId < 10^16, you’d expect each badge to have around 10% probability for its ID to sit in that range. None of those 160 badges do.

However some of them are 15 digits long. This one is 14 digits long. So there’s that.

I assumed it couldn’t as well, but I would like to find a definitive answer cause if I assume wrong the list may have to be “remade” due to data deletion.
