"Bump Sequence" allows you to set the sequence number of the account to any number between 0 to INT64_MAX (9223372036854775807)

I had a suspicion that I just verified, I created an account on the testnet, and bumped it's sequence to INT64_MAX. Now I cannot perform any more transactions with this account since its sequence number is too high (INT64_MAX + 1)

Am I missing something, or is it really possible to lock an account from doing anything using this operation?

Its a low threshold operation, so multisig account would need to set their "low threshold" to a high number to avoid it, which will be weird.

It is still possible to issue operations that affect that account, as the sequence number is consumed by the account issuing the transaction. You could use a second account to merge the max-id account.
