Fatal error: limits: No such file or directory #include <limits>

I am currently following this link to try the webhooks function with arduino IDE. However, when I tried to compile the code. I received this type of error.

Arduino: 1.8.15 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Uno"

In file included from C:\Users\user\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ESP8266_Webhooks/ESP8266HTTPClient.h:30:0,

C:\Users\user\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ESP8266_Webhooks/StreamString.h:26:10: fatal error: limits: No such file or directory

 #include <limits>

          ^~~~~~~~

compilation terminated.

exit status 1

Error compiling for board Arduino Uno.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I cant find any "limits" file that can be import as an library online? so why this is happening? and how to fix it?

search in streamstring

thank you for your advice. I have search that file

#endif // __STREAMSTRING_H

and it do include this. what should i do then?

"limits.h"?

based on my search, i think limit.h is sth from c but not c++

Not quite sure what you're trying to do and it might be outside my league but it looks like you're trying to use an ESP8266 library on an Uno?

Regarding limits, ther's a similar question here: Compilation Error <limits>
