Hi, Will the list above the 100 items limit be removed? Do I need to remove items until I get below the limit?

âbecause the main purpose of it for me is to make sure that if some old series pop new season, Iâll know about it.â
Let me just understand this. If you watched an old show and a new season came up, it will show up normally in your up next and calendar. This has nothing to do with the lists limit, you can mark as many items as watched as you want.
So, how would you not know about that? How were you using the lists feature?

I think youâre mistaken about the meaning of your watchlist. You watchlist is for things you want to see, not for things you saw. You donât need to add everything you see to your watchlist, just mark it as watched (âadd to historyâ). And if a new season/episode comes out, it will show up on your calendar and up next.

I kinda get it, I just donât know if you are using the list for the intended purpose.
The âwatchlistâ is used for things you have not watched yet, itâs more like a âplan to watchâ list. The things you already watched, you mark them as âwatchedâ and they show up in your history.
Your history is unlimited and every time something you watched release a new season, it shows up in your progress section and in your calendar, so you donât need any lists to keep track of that.

If you mark the last episode or season of the old series as watched, it should show up in your next up and calendar if a new season ever appears. Watched episodes arenât subject to a count.
(Just saw that I repeated what was already said!)
You can mass delete everything from your watchlist and just start over. I bet it consists mostly of watched show now anyway! Thatâll save you a lot of manual work.
I donât remember how though. But im pretty sure @justin told me. On the old forums I think.
Ohh found it;
But you still have your watched history? You watchlist is only for stuff you havenât seen yet, but want to start soon 
Your not actually using your watched history. But of course, you do you! 
What services did you decide for or found interesting?

Unfortunately this 100 items per lists has made the free account from trakt pretty unusable, especially the âcollectionsâ which over the years I have used trakt has grown to over 3000 items. Using the app TV Guides, connected to trakt before they had their own android app all items you âadd for watchingâ were automatically âadded to collectionâ meaning I now have over 3000 items collected xD
My anime list was also over 100 items which I now forcefully had to reduce to 99 items of only the animes I had not yet watched creating seperate watchlists of all genres just to keep the shows I wanted to watch.
My regular watchlist is over 300 items being both shows and movies, I am unable to add new stuff during my netflix browsing to my watchlist now due to this restriction. Iâm not entirely certain what the added value of this other than trying to âforceâ people to upgrade to use VIP can be. But I am dissapointed that it has come to this. All the other restrictions have always been perfectly acceptable, seeing stats, having more sorting options, all those fancy things people can use if they wish to pay. But this list restriction is rediculous and will make me look for other platforms to start logging my watched status.

If you have watched any previous episodes of a series, it is in your watched history and will appear in next up and calendar. Watched history has no limits. Keeping it in your watchlist is unnecessary.

Why are you talking about gargling your hairy *****?? Itâs your fault you went âOh itâs called watchlist, so it must be for things I watched 
â
Absolutely not. Itâs scary how many people follow this logic. A watchlist is for things you want to watch. Of course itâs going to fill up quickly if you use it for everything you watch instead. Why do you think it automatically removes items when you add them to your history?

You can, but you should add them to your history, not your watchlist. If there was a 100 item limit of things you watched (even movies and individual episodes) then that would make Trakt completely useless (I still think they made a horrible decision by limiting the watchlist and lists).

Youâre still getting it wrong. Watchlist should be for things youâve never watched. If youâve watched a series, itâs in your watch history without limits. Also, counting episodes instead of a series was/is a bug and should have been/will be corrected.

Quite a puzzling use of the Watchlist feature. What purpose do you find using the default Watchlist this way serves that the âProgressâ tab doesnât provide you?
Unless youâre not aware the âProgressâ tab exists and how it can be sorted and filteredâŚ

In case you donât know, the progress section is for what you are using your watchlist.
Watchlist should be for things you havenât started yet (or for things that still havenât been released).
The progress section has all episodes you still need to watch of your shows (that have been released).
For example, this is mine:
There are 25 episodes of 8 different shows in my progress. These are the things Iâm currently watching. Thatâs how the progress section works.

Indeed, it is completely wrong.
Why are you saying it like itâs a fact? Just do a simple Google search, please. Watchlist is for stuff you plan to watch, and that is the case for Trakt, but also for Letterboxd, Seriesguide, TVtime, and literally all apps that have ever existed.
Why would you add them to your watchlist? I really donât see the point. When you start a series, it shows the next episode in âup nextâ. What more do you need to not forget what youâre watching?
How is it physically possible to follow 100 series at once?
