Remove 250 task limit per person per plan.
Currently, there is a 250 task limit per person per plan. The error states “You've run out of space! Delete some old tasks and projects to continue creating new ones.” Removing completed tasks defeats the purpose of using Planner as a historical task tracker if resources are limited to 250 tasks.

This limit has been removed – users can now have thousands of tasks assigned to them.
We’re continuing work around performance and actively monitoring how many users hit this limit. So far, we only have seen users with unchecked Flows/automated task assignments hitting this limit.
We are planning on publishing formal documentation around all of our Planner limits once we’ve completed more performance work, but don’t have anything to share at this time.
Cheers,
The Planner Team

Are you kidding me!!!! Microsoft is absolutely killing me with tedious little things like this. This is right up there with the "Microsoft Stream (video) can not be shared externally" issue.

I am really disappointed about such issue. And that it is still not resolved. It looks like Planner Team made stupid thing at the beginning and "trying" to resolve it during... more than 9 months. 9m for delete the digit "250" in the program code. Guys, are you serious?!

We are an international publisher with more than 10000 users and our users are running into the limit of 250 tasks per plan. Please consider upgrading the limit!

having this limit makes it unworkable and not business level.

Our organization recently ran up against this limit as well. We do not like that we have to delete historical tasks simply because of this limit. The tasks are closed but we want the history for reporting.

First an inability to create templates or copy plans and now these limits = Planner is useless at this point.

I appreciate the possibilities of Manolis Emmanouilidis’ workaround (March 2, 2017 3:31 AM) and support Gerard Lebeda’s suggestion (January 27, 2017 11:00) to “create a "Completed" feature for the plan/project as a whole, and have that mechanism remove the task assignments (not the tasks themselves) for the entire plan/project.”
An additional question I have is, do I need to worry about the fact that our organization has almost 10,000 employees? It would seem that would add unworkable constrictions for us, if they all start using MS Planner?

This limitation is unbelievable! 250 tasks and 1,500 created items in total???? It is not rational to expect a business to work within these parameters. There is absolutely NO documentation on this limitation in Office365. Or users have spent hundreds of hours developing new projects and are now dead in the water. Deleting tasks is not an option as it removes essential data from the Project! This needs to be fixed immediately and not voted on.

Feature request:
1. Increase the 250/1500 task limits in Planner.
2. Provide an option to run a report or view number of tasks a person is assigned to.
3. When a task is completed have planner automatically remove the assigned user(s) or
4. Upon completion of a task, automatically reduce user task count in Planner. -

Do you really expect 365 customers to hang in there with you, MS? Is this designed to force people into Projects? Or is it simply gross oversight that continues to ignored?

Increasing limit or automatic archiving/deleting completed tasks is really necessary.
