And that’s what I said doesn’t matter.

Trakt staff has stated before that no matter what you add: season or episodes or shows, if it’s the same parent entry (show), it counts as one item toward the max.

But we all know reality doesnt always match what Trakt staff says.

> No, this would count as 1 show in your collection when calculating your limit. Your collection page has a total count of episodes + movies, but the limit is calculated using shows + movies.
