What is the limit of your brain if any?

Im wondering if the human brain can only think so much. I know its limited because of time since all humans die, but if say someone lived forever do you think that the brain at one piont has to erase all previous memorys in order to make space for new ones. Or is memory so small that its infinite. Because really can you zoom in to what a memory looks like, it has to something, is it physical or not? If not then that means memory is infinite right? Some may not remember what they did at 2:11 pm yesterday but it did happen and maybe if you try hard enough you can remember it? I dont know whats your take on this.

My brain got full long ago. Now I have to empty out the garbage little by little each day if I am to remember where I put my keys.

Memory is finite however I would guess that no one has ever come close to "filling up" their brain. Chances are if you can't remember something, you failed to adequately store it in your memory by associating it with other memories or putting it into context.
As for the daily limit of my brain, it's about 10-12 hours before I decide to shut it down via beers and bowls. After that, I just get antsy waiting to enter "chill out mode".

i had a teacher who once said it would take about 80 or 100,000 years to fulfill the potential of our brains.

too much lack of precision in the question the question has to be rephrased in context of what the brain does (associative storage and retrieval) and how it does it - holographically and with cadences. which operations exist in the brain need to be addressed and considered. remember it is like a hologram with respect to recall, everything is stored everywhere, and the clarity of recall depends on the extent of re-excitation; and it's a bit like a synthesizer with respect to generating sequences and cadences.

There is limit from an evolutionary standpoint, but very high limit, it could be the limit of being the closest you can get to liberation while still being rebirthed as a being with a brain.
for me thats the limit of the brain. Pure awareness, and seeing as our brains are pure awareness, just unaware of it, the limit is none, and the unspeakable liberation, source of all, AUM, has no limit.
so how can anything it is have a limit?

limit of what? the limits i am aware of are pain and pleasure and when does pleasure just become pain and why does pain sometimes become pleasure the rest is really hard to quantify or even qualify even pain is next to impossible to compare between people.
