Sync stops working randomly and cannot be restarted without new sync chain. (Bookmarks no longer syncing, send to device no longer working reliably either.)

Nah, not to my understanding. What they are saying is in the past it was a joint limit for all sync, so we could easily hit large numbers of history and once that total limit was reached we’d no longer have passwords or anything sync. Now our History is restricted to only 26k entries, where anything beyond that should get deleted/replaced.

And of course in the changes, they isolated the other types more so it can make sure history won’t interfere with things like passwords or bookmarks again.

I’m delete chain, create new and enable only bookmarks, passwords, extensions and sttinds.
Looks like everything is working.
I’ll watch for a couple of weeks

I also reported this on github: today history sync worked for about 2 hours and then stopped working about 5h ago and still isn’t working again.

Everything in sync-internals is ok/green/sync: periodic.
Other items seems to sync just fine.
I did NOT run into the 26k limit - this is a fresh chain from yesterday which is definitely <1000 items.

And it was clarified, you were right.

Perhaps, I know @clifton, @Alexey, and others are working on it. I would think it would just automatically delete the oldest or something. I’m trying to kind of keep track of the conversations going on at the Github and elsewhere to know what they are doing.

I’m not sure what the final goal is on their tweaking the sync. I’d hope it would be to do something to prevent it ever from being able to hit maximum objects and then no longer syncing. Kind of a weird design they have going on.

the thing is: not only bookmark. But, other things like Extension and Search engine are affected. Is there any hard limit for bookmark sync?

I switched to Brave a few months ago and my bookmarks don’t sink between my Android phone and Windows laptop.

So do I have to disable history on both devices. Then delete history as well. Leave the sync chain. And join back on again ?

Luckily I use an extension called XBrowserSync so my bookmarks are backed up already on the cloud.

However this issue needs to be fixed.
