Noticed the same issue as @sfoggthi this week. I had a shortcode on the home page of one of the researchers I manage showing his latest five publications and it was suddenly loading more of his list of 230+ in batches of 5. (I removed the shortcode and made a copy of the code here: https://bsmoore.scrippsprofiles.ucsd.edu/pubs-limit-test/).
We’re running Zotpress 7.3.2 on WordPress 6.1.1 on PHP 7.3.33 (for reasons) within X theme 9.1.4.
I would not rule out an interaction with one of our other plugins that has been updated more recently, like Autoptimize or W3 Total Cache.
We’ll have a better sense of what’s going on after we do our updates.
