Almost one year ago, I wrote about a newly discovered limit in Blogger blogs.
Labels could have, at most, 200 characters of labels (including spaces and commas). Today, we see reports of newly discovered limits, again in labels.
We see more requests.
and
and even a couple complaints
That's going to hurt a few bloggers!
Apparently Blogger released changes to Post Editor, and added limits to labels. These changes won't be as popular as the previously noted change.
Blogger Support advised us, on 10/22/2009, that we are likely to be limited to 5,000 labels / blog, for eternity.
Note the limit to the concession, and the stern warning.
Everything has its limits - and this is a limit that we may all have to learn to live with.

How can I put more than 2000 Labels on my blog?
and
I'm seeing "A post may have at most 10 labels." when I try to publish. Help!

I don't have 2,000 labels, but it's telling me that I do!

After listening to the feedback left in this thread and in other places, we've decided after some discussion to go ahead and increase the per-blog label limit to 5000 labels.
Note the limit to the concession, and the stern warning.
Please plan your labeling accordingly moving forward, as performance issues will prevent us from increasing the limit again down the line.

I keep getting this error message about 2000 labels
Can we do anything about this?
Hopefully someone at Google will respond to our requests.
I het thee error A2000 thing also
Admittedly, perhaps I've been putting a few on there that I maybe didn't need. I'd have been more selective if I knew it was an issue!
I also think that if we're going to be limited, the labels should be numbered so we can see how many we REALLY have.
My notes.kateva.org site passed 5,000 posts some months ago, but I can only see or edit the most recent 5,000 in blogger.
Google acknowledged the bug in July but there's no fix.
If someone should ask you to delete an old post, I guess after 5000 posts, not possible? Yikes! (Nice I read it here, since Blogger won't tell us anything.)
I now tell everyone to go to Wordpress and DO NOT EVEN TRY Blogger. (Apparently, Wordpress actually replies to people's concerns, too!)
Any word about whether they are listening to us? HELP! My God, this has been three weeks now. I am very, very disappointed in Blogger and how they don't seem to care about this issue.
I have heard from Gatsby and company several times, and it sounds like they are still discussing it. It appears that the server techs dreamed up the limits, to reduce resource use. Gatsby and his group are arguing with them, almost daily.
Gatsby was just in the main forum thread today, to announce the video (see above). BFD, I know. But they are aware that it's a problem.
Grato.
It is impossible for me to condense my labels because I'm trying to keep track of things that happen on the show. If I delete certain labels it will defeat my entire purpose of keeping this blog, which is a year and a half of my time gone. I enjoyed blogger for the most part.. up until now.
If you're going to track the details of "Lost", maybe you need more than a blogging platform. You may be happier with a Content Management System, which Blogger is not.
I hear what you're saying. It's just that there is a limit on everything, and from what I heard, 90% of the total blogger population used well under the initial limit (10 labels / post, 2,000 labels / blog), so Blogger started there. Based on the protests, they compromised by raising the limits from 10 / 2,000 to 20 / 5,000 - and stated that there would likely be no more increases.
Having raised the limits to 20 / 5,000, that leaves 98% of the total blogger population happy. You appear to be part of the 2% that aren't happy.
I'm not sure what else to tell you. I suspect that Gatsby had the final say.
"Please plan your labeling accordingly moving forward, as performance issues will prevent us from increasing the limit again down the line."
I really doubt they will "stay the limitation". You may have to live with a 5,000 label maximum.
