Based on work in progress with M. Montero and I. Valenzuela. We extend the results of [2410.07309] by showing that all 4d Lagrangian SCFTs satisfy the bound of the Sharpened Distance Conjecture in the large N limit. 
We also provide an example of a quiver SCFT, dual to a Planckian AdS background, where the bound is violated by taking a different kind of semi-classical limit, in which the number of gauge factors is taken to be large at fixed N.
