“The sky is the limit” is the correct term.
You may be confusing the other one for “The sky’s the limit”, where “sky’s” is just the shortened form of “sky is”.

The expression is "The sky is the limit" but sometimes people use the contraction "The sky's the limit."
Please note that "sky's" is not the same as "skies" which is the plural of "sky."

@r_h_goddard It's simply an error.

@r_h_goddard Unfortunately, simply being a native doesn't mean that a person is educated.
