I mean lol. Im only at like 13k watches after 13 years of trakt but I imagine a hardcore watcher with lots more time would be above that.
Itās a good thing I donāt rate every episodes but only shows and sometimes seasons.
This is not enforced yet. We are still looking at the best way to handle this. Currently only Plex Sync support the Digital Library but we want other tools like PlexTraktSync to be able to do the same.
Not enforced yet. This is one of the limits weād be willing to increase. For users that rate at episode level, this makes sense. Thanks for your feedback!
I understand that itās not currently enforced yet - but I have zero confidence and even less faith anything will change in a meaningful manner - and Iāll just effectively be told to get stuffed.
It is what it is, Iām bowing out before I turn into one of the karenās you see in other threads.
When we said āunlimitedā in the past, the intent was that normal users shouldnāt have to think about limits. And for the vast majority, thatās still true with 100k. Technically and practically, thereās always been a limit (the hardware and database system, but also, thereās no such thing as unlimited media and unlimited time to watch it).
Youāre also right about architecture. V2 slows down (and even sometimes broke with very large dataset) over time because of how it was built. V3 is structured differently under the hood to scale better and, yes, avoid reloading massive amounts of data.
No limit is not possible. I agree with you on Ratings limit being too low given the importance of it to Trakt.
Itās great that a bunch of limits are being increased for free users but it seems like the only ones who are negatively impacted by these changes are the paying users.
I wouldnāt even consider my physical media collection a large one but somehow I am over that offline library limit (1.5k/1k) despite my library saying 582 items.
The thing is youāre saying these changes havenāt been implemented but Iām already receiving a message saying I canāt add more items to some of my lists over the new 5,000 items limit.
Paying customers signed up for higher limits than the ones announced here. So now Iām paying for a downgraded service without even sending us some kind of notice ahead so I could agree and keep my subscription or disagree and cancel it.
Feels like fraud to me.
You say you care about your customers but the lack of communication before making changes proves otherwise. This is something you should have communicated to your paying customers way before weāre seeing these limits being implemented.
Imagine Netflix implementing streaming limits overnight without sending a notice to its subscribers. Then the next day users get messages like āyouāve reached your monthly streaming limitā. Only to find out that all that Netflix is saying is āwe havenāt implemented these changes (even when users are noticing otherwise) and these changes are necessary to provide a better service (even when the service with higher limits was working just fine). Oh by the way, your bill itās on its way (even though this is not what you signed up for)ā.
Iām sorry but as a paying subscriber the only reason Iāve been paying was the 10,000 watchlist limit and the 10,000 items per list limit. I hope my feedback along with others users help you retract at least on these 2 limits that I really care for. Otherwise Iām done with Trakt, with these limits itās useless for me.
If you wonder how on earth a user would require these higher limits, guess what? Youāve got users that have been building their watching history throughout a decade, being loyal and trusting Trakt. Iām sad youāre clearly not acknowledging that.
Between these new limits and the lack of previous features unavailable on the new version youāre definitely disappointing and losing loyal users.
Enough is enough. Iāll be looking for alternatives. Any recommendations from users reading this? Any other users agree with me or feeling disappointed just as me?
Iāll give it a few days to see if thereās a turnaround, otherwise Iām canceling my subscription for good.
Thatās something we are fixing now. Yes, itās a wording we shouldnāt have used.
This is something we already did, before announcing those new limits. The number of impacted users for watch history is very low. Ratings, Lists and Library have all their other issues ā I just want to make it clear that a media aficionado using their entire day to watch things shouldnāt be impacted in their history tracking.
That would be the other way round right? V3 seem to be counting each episode whereas V2 is the one thatās showing less.
From what Iām understanding, if the only thing I ever own physically is One Piece then I already hit that limit because thereās over 1k episodes?
Also why does the digital library get a limit of 100k but a physical library only 1k? Thatās such a drastic difference for whatās essentially the same thing
Some limits have already been implemented and are documented in the ā Immediate Changesā
This message has been posted after the change got merged and some sanity test passed after our caches were updated. Iām sorry you saw it before the announcement but itās difficult to do this at the exact same time.
Your watch history is limited to 100k items. Pease avoid adding your watch history to a Personal List, this is not the purpose of Personal Lists.
Look on the internet for Trakt alternatives. We are against advertising for competition on the Trakt Forums.
This is possible. We are going to align those things. It is currently confusing.
For the Physical Library, we shouldnāt count at episode level. Because you either own whole seasons or whole series. You canāt physically buy an episode (right?).
The above is already a big difference. You can āhaveā a digital episode. You canāt own a physical episode. We shouldnāt count individual episodes (or even let you) add individual episodes to your physical library.
(Let me know if it makes sense to you )
