Limitations may refer to drawbacks in the crafting of the play or its performance. The main such limitation in regard to 'Oedipus Rex' is the long opening scene. The opening scene is supposed to serve as an introduction. But it takes up the space and the time of something much longer.

It in fact is a bit overwhelming for the audience's understanding, and in terms of theater logistics, that the play begins with so many people involved in so much discussion at one time.

Also, it's important in a Greek tragedy for the chorus to show up and clue in readers and viewers. That doesn't happen right away in 'Oedipus Rex'.
