511 minor versions
Microsoft also restricts the use of versioning for your lists and libraries (though the average enterprise will never even approach these limits). For each file in your SharePoint list or library, SharePoint permits you to have up to 400,000 major versions. Each major version can have up to 511 minor versions.
Minor Versions are incremental versions between major versions. For example, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, … 1.100, and so on. You need to have Major versions enabled for minor versions to work. Just like with major versions, you have no control over how often they will be created.
