What are the disadvantages of using static methods in Java?

Is it better to use static method? Or is there any limit of it?

I was using static method few moments ago. But I noticed that I was returning a variable using that static method. According to [the article](https://javabeginnerstutorial.com/core-java-tutorial/public-static-void-mainstring-args-explanation/), 
>Static is a keyword that identifies the class-related thing. It means the given Method or variable is not instance-related but Class related. It can be accessed without creating the instance of a Class.


I think I can access the static method without caring of class, isn't it? Is there something special of static method? static method can helps to decrease amount of source code. So Is it better to use static method? Or is there any limit of it?

java static class
