Pawn Promotion - multiple Queens

Hello humans :) I've got a question about the pawn promotion. Are the official rules that you can have up to 9 queens? I used to play the to the rule, that you can only have one queen on the board and exchange the pawns to anything else you lost (well except pawns obvs :D). Is that legit too? Is there a variant that plays with the rules?
Chess rules state that pawns can promote to any piece of their color besides the king and another pawn, regardless of any other factors.
@Diogenesse these were the rules until like 400 or 200 years ago. very inconsistent in different regions. also imo it's kinda bollocks
