Hi,
There is no limit to the number of products that can be imported/updated at a time. The import performance and the number of products that can be imported depends on the server performance and the amount of data to be imported. In some environments, there are chances of server timeout to occur when importing a large number of products.

Hi,
Yes, using the plugin you can update the stock and other details of the products regularly by specifying the CSV URL in the plugin settings. Please make sure that the URL is publicly accessible and points directly to the CSV file.
