The answer is not complete. It depends on implementation. In .net core ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit setting is not used, HttpClientHandler.MaxConnectionsPerServer should be used instead.

It uses the same ServicePointManager so the answer is yes.

You can change the limit programmatically though if you want, see this

In .NET 6, ServicePointManager is flagged as Obsolete. – Joel Mueller Oct 07 '21 at 21:50
