[Schema Inaccuracy] Limit on the number of events is not explicit #4432

Schema Inaccuracy

All of the list operations under Events return a maximum of 300 events. The limit is implied but not stated explicitly, and that has led to some customer confusion.

Only events created within the past 90 days will be included in timelines. Events older than 90 days will not be included (even if the total number of events in the timeline is less than 300).

Opening an issue here because I think we might want to document the limit in the About Github Events section.

Should the Stabilize team (we own these operations) also add a note under each operation? Or is documenting the limit at the top level enough 🤔

Expected

The 300 event limit is documented in the section that references it.
