Robot file is the shot file that is only 500 KB. And its use is to allow or stop crawlers to crawl the website.

I am think that there is no limit but while searching on Google I found one article- in this John Mueller said "Google has a limit of only being able to process up to 500KB of your robots.txt file".

As of my work experience in SEO there is no limit.
Below mention website url I am going to share with you which is one of the longer ones that I've seen that's just being used to disallow spiders:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/robots.txt

I don't believe that I've ever seen a size limit listed anywhere.

Yes, there is a limit to robots.txt file in terms of filesize 500 KB as Vipin points out. A maximum file size may be enforced per crawler. Content which is after the maximum file size may be ignored. Google currently enforces a size limit of 500kb.
