We can suggest that, or suggest that the size of the data is too large
(which is easier for most users to fix, I would suspect). What about:
"Agg rendering complexity exceeded. Consider downsampling or decimating
your data."
along with a comment (not thrown), saying
/* If this is thrown too often, increase cell_block_limit. */
