Yes.

  - if result would be offering more than the remote's
  `max_accepted_htlcs` HTLCs, in the remote commitment transaction:
    - MUST NOT add an HTLC.

Note there is also a maximum amount:

  - if the sum of total offered HTLCs would exceed the remote's
`max_htlc_value_in_flight_msat`:
    - MUST NOT add an HTLC.

Cheers,
Rusty.
