I am a noob in this area.

How many addresses can be generated from a seed using BIP32?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I don't see any practical limit.  Each node in the tree can have at most 232 children but it seems you can just keep adding more and more levels as needed.
