Max Nesting is one of the source-code metrics Understand computes across 17+ languages — browse them in the GUI, export and track them, or script them with the Python API.

- For projects and architectures, this metric must also be enabled from "Project Configuration/Metrics/Projects and Architectures" with the "Show aggregated function metrics" option.
- This metric can be disabled from "Project Configuration/Metrics/Complexity" with the "Maximum Nesting" option.
