Is there a maximum height a card/stack can be?

32,768 pixels. If you have a monitor larger than that I want it.

No, the limit 32768 probably is on 32 bit. On 64 bit the limit much more, but depending on the OS and version you have to test it. My default max height is 65,535. However I repeat, test it!

im creating a long receipt to be printed and if there are too many items on the receipt then the stack is too long and it gets cut

So you are printing the card? The printer page setting itself is likely the limiting factor.

There are several other methods, even printing a card in "pages", that is, reloading and reprinting until the entire content is done. Have you tried any of these?

At LC's logical resolution of ~72px, 32,767px = ~38 feet. Not only would that be a massive rendering buffer, but where can you find paper that long?

Perhaps you'll want to do what most programs do: paginate.

There is still 'endless' paper available. I have a box containing one (folded) sheet of length 300 Meters.

If I'm going to hand a single receipt to a customer that's 30 meters long, I'd still want it paginated if only to provide page numbers so they can sort through such a large stack more easily.

Paginate solution proposed is the right way.
Make a test with your standard page, count the lines.
Then put a check for every item of your recipe, if the number of lines of your text is more than X, then create a new page an continue to insert items. Chek also clone this card command.
