/sync should be paginated to reduce request size (and generally make it more efficient)

[turt2live]

Some sort of pagination (per room or per stream?) would be great for reducing the amount of effort a server has to put in to responding to sync.

Implementation undefined - needs MSC.

matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2755 may be related to this. (Although there are certainly other ways to do it)

[Half-Shot]

Huh, I thought we had discussed this many times before (and had an issue for it)

[richvdh]

Not sure we had an issue in the matrix-doc repo for it.

This is happening via https://github.com/matrix-org/sync-v3 and is almost at the point of formalising as an MSC.

[KitsuneRal]

Should this be closed as sliding sync has shaped up by now? Any further discussion on the subject would most likely run off that new base, anyway.

[richvdh]

sounds good to me.
