## TL;DR
Radar value lists have a per-list item cap, so prune expired entries before inserting new ones. Split the list by purpose, one for blocked emails and one for trusted customers, so each stays under the cap and stays readable. If you are constantly near the cap, move the logic into rule conditions on fields your system already sets instead of growing the list forever.

```text
stripe radar list quota exceeded error on value list insert
```

## Use this when
- Inserting into a value list returns a quota or limit error.
- A list that used to accept inserts suddenly rejects them.
- You maintain large allow or block lists in Radar.

## Not for this skill when
- The error is on rule count, not list items. Rule limits are a separate quota.
- Inserts fail with a validation error rather than a quota error. Check the item format.
- You need per-item expiry. Value lists do not expire entries automatically; prune on a schedule.

## Steps
1. List the current items and count them against the documented per-list limit. Verify: you know exactly how many slots are free.
2. Remove stale entries: expired promo blocks, one-off blocks older than your review window, and duplicates. Verify: the count drops well below the cap.
3. Retry the insert. Verify: the API returns the created list item.
4. If the list fills again quickly, split it by purpose into two or more lists. Verify: each list holds a single concern and stays under half the cap.
5. For high-churn data, switch the rule to match on payment fields your system already sets, and shrink the list to exceptions only. Verify: the rule still matches the same payments with fewer list items.

## Variant phrasings
### stripe radar value list limit reached
Shorter phrasing.
### radar list item quota exceeded
Error-text phrasing.
### cannot add to radar blocklist list full
Blocklist-centric phrasing.

Compatibility: Stripe Radar value lists; item limits vary by Radar plan. Applies to both allow and block lists.

## Why it happens
Value lists are sized for curated exception sets, not for bulk data. Teams append every suspicious email or IP and never remove any, so the list grows until inserts start failing, usually during an incident when you need the insert most.

## Edge cases / pitfalls
- There is no automatic expiry. A temporary block from two years ago still occupies a slot.
- Bulk deletes are rate-limited too. Prune in batches with pauses between them.
- Splitting a list means updating every rule that references it. Audit rule references before you split.
