Grid Item Limit per Section

The current limit of 24 items per grid section forces us to split large collections (e.g., user playlists) across multiple sections, leading to layout inconsistencies across different screen sizes. List templates allow up to 200 items.

Is there a plan to increase the grid item limit, or is there a recommended pattern for presenting larger collections in grid layouts?

Hi! I'd definitely encourage you to file an enhancement request if the current API doesn't suit your needs, however what you're doing would be our recommended approach.

Using standard list items instead of the grid would be one way of ensuring more consistency across different screen sizes, but of course that changes the presentation style. There is a bit of a trade-off there and it is your choice what you would like to prioritize.

Thanks for the response.

One thing I struggle with is that grid-based presentation of large content collections has become a very common pattern across media and content apps. Users are increasingly accustomed to browsing libraries, playlists, albums, podcasts, and other collections in grid layouts, often even preferring them over lists for visual discovery.

Because of that, the current limit of 24 items feels somewhat arbitrary when compared to the 200-item limit available in list templates. In practice, it means developers often end up choosing a presentation style based on API constraints rather than on what provides the best user experience for their content and users.

Unless there's a technical or safety consideration we're overlooking, it would be great to understand why the same scale isn't supported for grid layouts. We'll definitely file an enhancement request, as the current limitation makes it difficult to provide a consistent and intuitive browsing experience for larger collections.
