Java has APIs which limit the number of Threads to Integer.MAX_VALUE. (~ 2 billion)
However your OS/Hardware will be the real restriction. Between 100 and 10K will be your limit depending on what you are doing.
Threads are usually created to improve performance. However they add overhead so you will reach a point where adding threads will decrease performance. In rare cases two threads are not as good as one. The point at which more threads hurts performance depends on your application, your hardware and how it is used.
Note: If you have 16 logical cores, there will only be up to 16 threads running at any given moment.
