ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 17
"There's a limit to my restraint"
"There's a limit to my patience"
Or, simply the noun "limit" can have this meaning in context, e.g.:
"I have my limits".
There are also variations of an idiomatic expression: "I'm at the end of my tether" meaning you are at the end of your patience with a situation or person.
ANSWER 2
Score 4
There's a limit to my tolerance.
ANSWER 3
Score 2
There is a limit to my forbearance.
Not especially idiomatic in the modern world, at least in my experience. This choice has a certain ... maybe "haughtiness" to it. Like if you were invoking the idea of someone in a position of power, this could help convey that sense.
