How Salesforce Auto-Number Fields Handle Overflow

The number portion of the Salesforce Auto-Number format automatically expands by one digit to accommodate sequences that exceed the defined digit count. For example, if the format is A-{0000} and the last assigned number was A-9999, the next record will be assigned A-10000, then A-10001, A-10002, and so on. The format expands as needed without requiring any Admin configuration.
