define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 5);

Does it stop adding new revisions after it has reached 5 revisions or does it keep adding new revisions by deleting the oldest one?

From the suport article:

WP_POST_REVISIONS:
- true (default), -1: store every revision
- false, 0: do not store any revisions (except the one autosave per post)
- (int) > 0: store that many revisions (+1 autosave) per post. Old revisions are automatically deleted.

Thanks! I’ve noticed that the line of code does not immediately have an effect. I need to manually edit the page. Only then it removes all the old revisions and retains only the last 5. Is there a way to automatically purge all the old revisions based on this code? The support article does not seem to provide further details.

(Emphasis mine)

No. But you can run an SQL command on the database directly to purge old revisions (only do this if you know what you’re doing, so I’m not going to provide any code)… or use a plugin like WP Sweep.
