New Logos.com bug: can't have more than 200 open pre-pubs

I just tried buying another pre-pub, and it wouldn't work. I tried doing it several ways: by clicking on the Quick Buy button on the product description page, by clicking on the Pre-order button on the product description page or the Pre-order button in search/list view. All of those just dropped me into my Open Pre-pub Orders page with that book I'd just tried to order not having been added to the list. (The Pre-order buttons didn't even give me a chance to confirm my order.)

I tried it again on a different pre-pub in case there was some problem with that one. Same thing happened.

I finally noticed that I have exactly 200 open pre-pubs. I suspect this is a limit some programmer thought no real user would ever exceed, so they thought it would be OK to limit the number of open-prepubs to this. Well, meet Rosie Perera, Logos book addict. It's very frustrating to not be able to order a pre-pub because I've already maxed out on the number of open pre-pub orders I can have.

Which products were you attempting to pre-order? I'd like to take a look at them to make sure it is set up correctly.

It happened on several of them. I don't remember all, but I can reproduce it on these ones:

And it doesn't appear to have to do with a hard limit of how many pre-pubs I can have open; that was just a coincidence and I misinterpreted it as a limit. One has shipped and I now have 199 open, and the problem is still occurring. And it doesn't happen with all pre-pubs, as I tried it on a more recent one, shipping today, and the problem didn't occur here: https://www.logos.com/product/175781/confessions-of-a-convert-the-classic-spiritual-autobiography-from-the-author-of-lord-of-the-world

So yes, it does appear to be a problem of how the PDPs are set up.

They do the same for me - drops straight to my open pre-pubs list without ordering.
