If you send full routes when your customer's BGP is configured for max-prefix 10K, it will reset the BGP session.
If your customer wants partial feed, send your own routes and the routes up to one (or two) AS of depth instead of using max-prefix.

Subject: [nsp] Maximum-prefix in BGP
Hi,
Just want to ask everybody regarding the Maximum-prefix command in BGP.
I haven't tried on our routers, I have understand the concept but will this effectively limit the number of prefixes received by the neighbor router??
neighbor maximum-prefix XXXX
neighbor maximum-prefix XXXX warning-only
I have a customer who is asking partial routes from the internet (10k to 20k only) will this command do the trick?
Thanks for all your reply,
Ysmael Tan
