Description

When running SHOW SERIES with a time filter like below
SHOW SERIES FROM "livemetrics" WHERE time > 1570114082s
it shows error:
"error": "max-select-series limit exceeded: (10001/10000)"
which is OK.

Bug 1. But when I remove WHERE filter, it runs just fine and returns millions of series.
SHOW SERIES FROM "livemetrics"
Bug 2. I really want to keep WHERE time filter and add LIMIT 10, but still get the same error
SHOW SERIES FROM "livemetrics" WHERE time > 1570114082s LIMIT 10

This behavior is inconsistent.
I am also surprised that SHOW SERIES is subject to series limits.

InfluxDB OSS 1.7.8

Thank you very much.
