API $$LIMIT should be unlimited or set higher

The max $$LIMIT on API results is 2000. This should be higher, unlimited or set to the next set of results. Currently, assumption is that your query is less than or equal to 2000 results but as you build your data over time, the time values add to your query results. I had to break down my queries to 3 with regards to time and hoping that none of the queries will get over 2000. We are not getting accurate results once those queries go over 2000 results.
