Yes, you can't use *pixel* for z15+. You can hack around it, like I do[1], with "zoom dependent way_pixel filters". Just divide by 4 each zoom level. > That however would also mean you would need to remove all the > > way_area > 0.01*!pixel_width!::real*!pixel_height!::real > > filters from SQL for z14 - otherwise you get missing geometries at the > higher zooms (not a real lot - that limit is about one Mercator square > meter at z14 - but when this occurs it would be visible and possibly > surprising). Oops. I will fix that. Do you know of an example of where this filtering applies in the normal OSM tileserver? It's helpful to have something to compare to? > And if i understand you correctly this also means you cannot render any > features differently on z14 and any higher zoom level based on > processing done in SQL - unless you duplicate them into different > separate layers for different zoom levels. Yes, you can't use SQL to filter different things after z14. You have to use CartoCSS filters. A z14 tile needs to have all the data a z19 tile needs to render. You don't have to use z14. You can use another level, or have all vector tiles generated live (with no "overzooming"). Not sure why you'd want to do that.
