How many MP4s (and what size) can safely go in one SCORM package before loading issues?

Building a course in Captivate 13, delivered through Docebo, with a bunch of embedded MP4s (1.5-5 min each, 1080p) plus quizzes and other interactivity in the same package. Not streaming through Vimeo or Wistia, actually embedded in the package itself.

From asking around, it sounds like it's not really about how many videos, it's about individual file size and total package size. Most people I talked to keep videos around 80-150MB each and the whole package well under Docebo's 1GB cap. But nobody I've found has actually tested this at real scale, like 30+ videos, across different connections and machines. Just one-off tests.

Has anyone actually built something like this and had it work consistently for a real, varied group of learners? Or had it fall apart even though it looked fine in your own testing? Trying to get past "it worked for me" and figure out what actually holds up once real people with real connections start using it.
