EU has published last year some restrictions regarding green tea extracts containing (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate ( Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006, 30.11.2022). The rule is "...levels of 800 mg or more per daily portion of food should be prohibited". It is easily found with Google.
I think this is a scientifically founded, safe and sensible maximum limit to reduce risk of liver damage when using supplement. (I have bought German-made capsules through Amazon, which are claimed to contain 375 mg of EGCG each, and taking actually one per day - but even with two capsules the daily amount would be OK according to the EU limit)
