Facebook graph api limit parameter strange behaviour

Until today I could do requests such as the following successfully

https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/[PAGE_ID]/posts?access_token=[TOKEN]&since=2014-03-17T00:00:00Z&until=2014-03-17T23:59:59Z&limit=250&fields=id,message

Today when I tried to make this request I get the following response:

{
"error":{
    "message":"(#100) The 'limit' parameter should not exceed 200",
    "type":"OAuthException","code":100
}
}

Which is funny because the graph api mentions that the upper bound of the limit parameter is 250. Am I missing something or is there something wrong with the API?

@Potaoes I suspect this is an error related to them solving some back-end and latency issues. Discussed here. https://developers.facebook.com/status/issues/320942614776706/

They are currently in the middle of push ( I assume to correct this error). https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/

Finally the error has been reported. https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/1518130385135066/

@Vineesh The OP is correct. It's against all the API documentation that the limit has been 250 since v2.0. There has been no documented change to this.

The Error message exactly shows the Error.

The 'limit' parameter should not exceed 200",

You have given limit=250,

reduce the limit then try again.
