you can control what you receive, so you can close the connection after reaching your limit, no?

Yeah but I like to keep connections open so I don't have to do a TLS handshake after every query.
Thinking about it some more, this wouldn't work because created_at order is not defined and it would need to be desc
what's your objective? what are you trying to achieve?
hashtags, infinite scrollback paged chatrooms. All of these are very hard to do without having some kind of limit option with implied created_at desc ordering in a query.
