The per-session total-plays cap has been removed, along with its internal tracking. Only the concurrent-plays limit remains.\n\n**Why**\n\nSounds that were previously refused after a session played too many of them will now keep playing, as long as too many aren't overlapping at once.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
