[Developer][API Limit] Playlist Change limit exception

API

My Question or Issue

I've a playlist which I manage via API, many changes are applied to this item.

Lately, I've started getting the following exception:

{
"error": {
"status": 400,
"message": "Unable to modify playlist - Reached maximum change count"
}
}

Few points about this error:

1. it's not documented, the limits for modifying a playlist are not clear or public, would be nice to actually see it to plan better.

2. Is there a way to increase this limit?

3. Is there a way to reset, delete history via API to get around this error?

Thanks,

Oleg.

I also have this error when updating the Playlist.
What are the options to solve this issue for current playlists?

Running into this issue myself. Would love to know if there is a fix for this or, if not, at least some awareness of what the limits are, so I can work with these in mind.

I encountered this issue last month. I was making changes to the playlist about every 5 minutes for 3 years.

Just noticed this error popping up for myself as well. Since then, my playlist has effectively been put on read-only mode, as I am unable to even add/remove songs from it manually
