300 Reservation Limit - A BAD IDEA
My temple has been closed for three years. Before that time, I was keeping up with the volume of reservations I was creating. Now, three years later, I have 600 reservations and I am being told I must reduce that number to under 300. I am not allowed to submit any more reservations. My temple will finally open in July 2022. I think I will just stop doing any work in FamilySearch. I can continue my genealogical work in Ancestral Quest and move names to FamilySearch in the future. Is the Church really committed to this bad policy?

This is a question that several folks have brought up. You can see other means to keeping track of your family that needs ordinances listed on these other threads:
Note in the first link, a link to Personal Temple Reservation List FAQs which gives some clarity as to WHY this limit was put in place.
I know you are anxious to help your family receive ordinances. You might try an experiment to see if other family is out there and able/ready to do temple work. Suppose you choose 5 individuals. Write down their FamilySearch IDs and then release their ordinances. Check back on them in 2 weeks to see if their ordinances have been picked up by other family members.

Share the ordinances to the shared temple file. This will allows others who are also related to these same people to help complete the ordinances in their temples which are open. It will also allow temples to complete some of the ordinances. And it will allow you to pull back any ordinances you may need when your temple is reopen. And you can continue to do research and reserve more ordinances.
