Hi, I understand your point and recognise this is inconvenient at the moment. I'd say in the short term we can increase the limit - 25 is just a number like any other :-) - and perhaps administratively close the failing measurements. While I can't make promises about when, but in the longer term we can address this by looking at the the total results towards a target per time interval, instead of total measurements.
