Hey all,
Has anyone else noticed that the Plex Watchlist RSS feed seems to be capped at 25 items now My Watchlist RSS URL used to include pagination via:
\
I was using that RSS feed in an automation
• I regularly pull the full Watchlist via RSS
• If a movie/show is no longer in the Watchlist feed, my script automatically removes it from another list/library
But now the RSS feed returns only 25 items, and the atom:link rel=“next” pagination link is completely gone. Because of that, my automation couldn’t see anything past the first 25 items and wrongfully removed a few files that were actually still in my Watchlist.
Just trying to figure out if this is a me-problem, a regression, or an intentional change that kills this kind of automation.

**# Plex RSS Cache Issue**
Hi.
To further add to this, it would appear that Plex has also changed the RSS servers. URLs are now at: `https://rss.plex.tv`
The server is returning the following cache headers:
`Cache-Control: max-age=60,s-maxage=86400,stale-while-revalidate=86400`
This means:
- `s-maxage=86400` - CDN caches for 24 hours
- `stale-while-revalidate=86400` - CDN can serve stale content for another 24 hours while revalidating in the background
So RSS feeds can potentially be up to 48 hours stale. I see nothing within the RSS feeds when adding content to watchlists (all cache hits).
Additionally, any attempt to add query params to force a refresh results in a 302 redirect that strips the unknown parameter before it reaches the CDN layer. The recognized `?format=json` param works without redirect, but still returns the cached response.
This must be a configuration bug. RSS feeds are useless when stale for 24 hours.

I just noticed this myself too. Hopefully they’ll do something about it, because right now it’s unusable.

I’m not super familiar with all of your technical jargon lol but my RSS feed seems to have stopped working between Radarr and Plex. Are yall still having these issues or is this a me problem? Thanks!
