Abstract: We use the $ D$-module theoretic description of generalized test ideals to show that in any $ F$-finite regular ring the $ F$-thresholds of hypersurfaces are discrete and rational. Furthermore we show that any limit of $ F$-pure thresholds of principal ideals in bounded dimension is again an $ F$-pure threshold; hence in particular the limit is rational.
