Not now. The problem is solved for me by using statistics. But anyway, my main wish from the very first post was, if there are such unexpected (history panel and history card behave differently) limits, please state them in the documentation. Otherwise users will be sent on a goose chase like I was.
Were you expecting version 2025.4’s documentation to describe 2024.9 behavior?

Yes. Other programs I use have good documentation and where they list new features they always add a “from x.y” in brackets. A program is a tool to solve tasks. I want to master new tasks, not have to relearn my tools every fortnight or so. For example I also use a rather old version of TeX. My effort goes into what I write, not how I write it.
The documentation is clear on which version it belongs to. I’m glad Home Assistant does not describe every change they made the last couple of years in the documentation. It would become unreadable. Being the biggest software product on Github, there are bound to be many changes.
Furthermore, the documentation is editable by community. In fact, a community member improved the docs based on your comments.
You imply the documentations is bad based on a singular experience and wrong assumptions. You are free to help improve it, or return the product and ask for a refund.
No.
Support and documentation is for the current version only. If you want help you have to be on the latest version. If you have ever opened an issue on github you would see that this is a requirement.
And I do recommend you update as soon as possible and stay up to date. The further you fall behind the harder it will be for you to eventually update as you will have to check for backward incompatible changes across multiple release notes. And you will have to update eventually to either get a bug fix or new feature you want.
