Why did SmartThings Decrease the Total Device Count to 300 per Location?

[jkp]

there has been a discussion about the 300 limit for the past 2 months in the following thread:

200 Device limit - How to proceed from here?

Any idea for android , the devices limit of 300 consider those devices that is not select to use? Not sure why i have unselect devices to have less than 300 devices but its still shows “can’t add more than 300 devices” when trying to add. IOS do not have this issue, except when it has really more than 300 devices selected @Jeff_Gallagher do you have any idea on this?

as to the “why” - only ST knows.
