The only major limit of the public free Facebook is time. You can get as much historical data from fan pages and groups as you like, yet the network data download may take quite a while as the download stops and resumes.
Please note that the download of network data from large fan pages can easily max out your system memory if you do not limit the number of reactions, likes and shares when setting up the data importer.
