I believe there are suggested high-end vitamin D limits, but different from one "expert" to another "expert". Also based on other factors such as where else you are getting it and other considerations; and based on the belief that too much calcium at some level may be toxic or unhealthy.

This is from my foggy memory, so I suggest doing an internet search on the topic :)

@Heartlander Taking vitamin D can increase calcium?

@Pomegranate Supposedly, vitamin D affects the absorption of calcium by the body, so it's needed, in part, for bone maintenance. But there may be consequences to too much calcium absorption. So a combination of a diet rich in vitamin D, sunshine and a D supplement may not be healthy. So talk to your doc, or a nutritionist or do some research.
