Step 1: when using the “combine” function on observations with >14 photos, I get this error message

Has there been an update limiting observations to a certain number of photos?

pretty sure the limit is 20

Yep, 20 is the current limit via app:

I say “current” because I have 39 photos on a previous observation.

There’s no limit via browser now unless we weren’t informed.

The browser limit is also supposed to be 20: https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/commit/e0e77b1fe9e5c4c5b8738dbd7cd63bf2f0c9e37f

The limit will be 20 or already is.
-For android and web the limit is 20.

Ok so if the limit is 20, then I feel like the error message should make that clear

Agree, the string should be added to crowdin translations. Seems a clear a bug exists and it’s ready for a developer to work on.

Looks like this one was fixed:
