Why iBars and TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_MAXBARS) return different values?

[Hardworking Pig]

I used below to get number of bars in GBPNZD monthly chart, it only shows 131 bars.

int numOfBars = iBars(symbolList[i], PERIOD_MN1);

However, when I used below code to get chart's maximum bars, it shows 266 bars.

long maxbars=TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_MAXBARS);

I tried to get close value at shift 180 but failed. How can I do that? (checked that bars in chart is 266.

Because.

https://docs.mql4.com/constants/environment_state/terminalstatus#enum_terminal_info_integer

The maximal bars count on the chart.

And iBar ()

Returns the number of bars on the specified chart.

Thanks Dominik.

Then why I can see 266 bars on Specific chart (I only opened 1 monthly chart) but iBar() shows 131 bars?
How can I get iClose() for shift 180 for example?

Thanks.
