Increase 900 category limit on AGOL

[BrendanMcCann]

To manage our project files effectively in the absence of bulk tagging, we utilise ArcGIS Online categories. However, we recently reached the platform's limit of 900 categories. Given the scale of our work, we suspect other organizations may encounter this same bottleneck as their data libraries grow.

A potential workaround is to create a view layer and split your categories across two instances of the same layer until Esri provides a way to extend the current limit. This approach allows you to effectively manage and display up to ~1800 categories without needing to publish an entirely separate layer.

This can help maintain continuity in your workflows while avoiding the overhead of duplicating data or restructuring your content organization. Hopefully, this serves as a practical interim solution until ArcGIS Online increases the category limit.
