Has the 50,000 Row Limit for Tables Been Removed?

Is the 50,000 row limit gone for tables now? In the past, even if I deleted all of the rows in a table it would still stop working once it reached 50,000 rows ever created. I think I remember seeing something about that limit going away?

The 50,000 row limit still exists for regular tables. However, there are now ways to work around it:
New options:
Bulk Enrichment - Process millions of records without row limits by automatically archiving/deleting processed rows [1]
Passthrough Tables (Enterprise only) - Bypass the 50,000 limit by handling rows on a rolling basis with automatic deletion [2]
The core table limit hasn't been removed, but these new features let you process unlimited data by automatically managing the rows for you.

I think that helps. If I delete all of the rows so the table is empty, it will allow me to add 50,000 new rows? This did not used to be the case.

Actually, that's not quite right. The 50,000 row limit still applies to the total count of rows that have ever existed in the table, including deleted ones. So even if you delete all visible rows to make the table appear empty, you still can't add new rows if the table has already reached its lifetime limit of 50,000 rows.
The behavior you're thinking of hasn't changed - deleting rows doesn't reset the counter for regular tables. The new workarounds like Bulk Enrichment and Passthrough Tables handle this differently by automatically managing rows for you, but the core table limit mechanics remain the same.

Yes, the 50,000 row limit is removed for bulk enrichment workflows. This allows processing millions of rows, especially on Enterprise plans. Regular tables still have the limit deleting rows doesn’t reset it.

Exactly right! Bulk enrichment lets you process millions of records without the 50,000 row limit because it automatically deletes processed rows after exporting them to your destination. [1]
Regular tables still have that lifetime limit - deleting rows manually doesn't reset the counter. But bulk enrichment handles this automatically by removing rows once they're successfully exported, keeping your workspace clean while processing unlimited data. [2]
