We’re updating Free and VIP limits to make them clearer, more consistent, and aligned with our upcoming Fair Use Policy . The goal is simple: define reasonable limits that protect performance and ensure Trakt remains fast and reliable for the majority of users. All new limits have been determined u…

[image] Duckyz95: As Trakt are trying to be more transparent I think I answered that already in 📚 The Library on Trakt: What It Is and Where It’s Going - #13 by kcador [image] Duckyz95: can you explain how cataloguing physical media items is more strain on Trakt’s servers than digital it…

Look, I’m going to be completely honest here as this seems to be going nowhere. All of this looks like a desperate attempt to remove physical media support.

Wow, I’ve been paying for over 7 years and I’m going to lose data just because I watch a lot of stuff? I think that is highly ridiculous. Hard limits on Watch History is, insane! That gets rid of the whole entire point of Trakt. [Screenshot 2026-02-27 074020] Honestly, this is probably going to b…

For me the most important features on Trakt is the history tracking and ratings. I rate almost everything I watch.
