The Verge’s limits aren’t relevant here as NewsBlur maintains a local copy. At the moment I see articles going back to `16 Mar 2022` which is right about a month, but 521 articles, which is suspiciously close to 500, so I’m wondering if there is some cap at 500 (plus a few new articles, until the cap gets enforced)?

I went digging and found this previous comment which, although dated, does suggest a 500 article cap as well.

> Yes, it’s part of an article limit. The limit is 500 stories. I can’t keep all of them forever, as it’s an enormous cost and not enough of a feature draw to offset its cost.
