I've wondered about this for years.... But thinking about it the unsigned 32 bit limit is over 4 billion ...... so you are 0.0093% of the way to the limit The new limit is probably 64 bit. Probably what happens when u hit the limit is it rolls over and starts at 0 or 1000 like a new stack, and then searches for the nearest unused id. I'm at the 2.5 millions when i create a new id in my master stack. Interesting to think about, but nothing to fear.
