Narrative:

After the first officer's (first officer) takeoff; we switched to departure control. I checked in 'out of 2;000 climbing to 16;000' (the limit of the SID) departure control said roger and gave us a turn north. We climbed all the way to 16;000 ft. Uneventfully (no TCAS alert). At altitude we were told to phone ZZZ approach. I was informed our clearance limit was only 4;000 ft. And there might have been a deviation.being new to the airplane and having flown 9 out of the last 11 days is no excuse for something as basic as getting your clearance correct. Even though I have under 200 hours in the airplane; I've been a captain for over 20 years. Getting the clearance correct is basic stuff and I just dropped the ball.
