Opt-out button to override 150 task limit

Many of us power users have encountered the dreaded error message "For performance reasons you can only add 150 tasks pr. project. Please split your tasks in multiple projects." when trying to add new tasks. Ugh!

The explanation we have been given by the very responsive staff it is a limitation for performance reasons, and temporary, though we have not been provided a timeframe when it will be lifted (in part or in whole, if ever). The proposed solution in the meantime is to split up projects, but as many of you know that is awkward and doesn't really help. Likewise it is a royal pain to go in and restructure an existing project if it already exceeds the 150 task limit.

If it is truly only a subset of users that are feeling hindered by this limitation, then I kindly suggest we are given an option in our preferences somewhere to waive this limitation. Clearly it is not a problem for pre-existing projects, as our existing projects continue to have over 150 tasks (ie. none were deleted, thank goodness).

There is also an 80 project limit that would benefit from the override. Though I am already hit with performance issues, especially on the mobile app (which has gotten better).

Maybe I just need to start finishing things, but every time I finish something I think of 2 new things to do!

You can use the iOS app to add tasks past the 150 count. I've got one project with 196 tasks and it just takes a second longer to open it on the mobile the first time, but I've experience no issues otherwise.

But I'm sure this will be "fixed" in a future version. And I'll have to decide if I want to keep using it.
