One of my feeds typically produces some 150 to 300 entries over the course of the night. I went to bed late last night, so there were only 144 unread entries in the morning. NewsBlur, however, only showed exactly 100, and I couldn't scroll further into the past. Is that a temporary limitation that will be lifted again when it’s migrated?
I can’t lose any of those entries, and I need to be able to see all past read entries as well.

I don't think RSS is the right use case for those kinds of high-volume feeds...
Maybe it should work as you expect and not just cut you off, but I believe that your approach to the problem is flawed. In my opinion RSS is best used for feeds with relatively low amounts of output, not such 300 posts/night "monster feeds".

I love how people try to impose their own habits on other users.
RSS is an absolute necessity for sites with huge traffic and sites that don't have regular update schedule.
You can't manually track such sites.

Headsean, if you were on Reader then I doubt you had more than a thousand unread items, as Reader itself had a 1,000 item max. In fact, I cut Reader's limits in half for both stories and unread states, hence why I have the defaults I have.
The only limit that I know is marking items as read after one month, but they are still accessible after that. There is no quantity limits.
This is not only about unread items, these stories are *completely* deleted from the feed. Google Reader never did that.
Reader easily handled thousands of unread items. It just didn't show the correct unread count. It has *never* marked anything as read that you haven't actually read yet.
^^. I would actually be happy if the counts just stopped after ~1000 (or even 500), but keeping the read state of `everything` is the whole point of using a reader in the first place.
That screen shot is showing folders which is slightly different 
There's a picture of a single feed with 1k+. I can browser through that feed for quite some time before the plus gets dropped and it starts counting down. Only the display gets capped at 1000.

As far as I’m aware, there is a 1000 entries limit for the number of entries that (or whose status) can be retrieved by a client in a single request. Maybe Sam mixed that up. (I’ve never worked with the API myself, though, and only skimmed through the Lightread sources to find some (perceived) bugs, so I’m hazy on the details.)
Welp, sorry such a detail had to spoil the otherwise fluffy service. I canceled the PayPal subscription and deleted my two feeds to save you the traffic.
