The limit of 2500 records is a restriction put in place to protect the users of our Paragon databases. Many vendors run scripts to pull information and a misconfiguration of that script could lead to situation that has the same query being run multiple times in a very short period of time. The limit of 2500 records allows vendors to pull a significant amount of information while still protecting the Paragon user experience.
The limit is not generally configurable and should not be changed above 2500 records. Vendors can utilize a listing “off-set” to pull the remainder of the listings. For more information please review http://reso.org
I think I was confused by this at first too, and Bruce hinted at the vital info: That limit is PER request (and not like a per day/hour thing). You can use offset to get the remaining records of your request.
I've run into this as well when using RETSconnector to verify the data I'm receiving. RETSconnector has an offset method to get a complete download, beyond 2500 records.
