Do you have any limitations of filter?
MeiliSearch is 10, Algolia is 1000.

Other platforms set limitations for performance reasons.

I’m sure adding more and more filters will certainly degrade performance, but we just leave that to the discretion of the developer.

Does 50,000 filtering work on your env?
