How can I find all elements with a custom html attribute using Beautiful Soup?

I have two cases where I want to clean up the html with custom html attributes This is a html example. How do you clear all elements with a custom "limit" attribute.

<div class="names" limit="10">Bar</div> 
<div id="30" limit="20">Foo</div> 
<li limit="x">Baz</li>

The second case is similar, but with all html tags

<div class="names" limit="10">Bar</div> 
<div class="names" limit="20">Bar</div> 
<div class="names" limit="30">Bar</div>

My question is different from How to find tags with only certain attributes - BeautifulSoup as the latter sets the values ​​of attributes with a specific tag, whereas the first (my question) looks to assign an attribute only despite the tag or value

# First case:
soup.find_all(attrs={"limit":True})

# Second case:
soup.find_all("div", attrs={"limit":True})

If your attribute name does not clash with either the Python keywords or the soup.find_all

args name, the syntax is simpler:

soup.find_all(id=True)
