I don’t think there is a limit on how many comments you can receive on your site, but if they’re spam I might delete them anyway.
Delete them for sure.
Also, you might want to take some action to minimize the problem.
Activate Akismet is one step.

Is a plugin I find extremely helpful as well. It blocks most automated spam bots
In most cases, spamming comments are very annoying. Akismet not helping us to combat spams well. I don’t want to remove or close comment section so my readers able to leave their responses. So, are there ways to reduce spam comments like WP plugin or HTML codes snippet? I really like to know.

You don’t think Akismet helps at all? Just curious to see your Akismet stats if you don’t mind sharing them.
You can also try other popular spam plugins like Bad Behavior or Cookies for Comments.
