Please help me to understand how to properly and correctly use the list-function of AWS Amplify.

After running into many issues of existing data not being found/retrieved, I found out that if no "limit" is set, the limit for the Query is always by default set to 100. Now for any table that I am querying from using "list", I have to set a very high "limit", to make sure that I am getting back the data that I am looking for.

Here is an example:

const userResponse = await client.models.User.list({
  filter: {
    email: { eq: userEmail }
  },
  limit: 10000
})

If i have more than 100 Users in the table and I dont have the "limit" set to a higher number, sometimes the data (in this case the user) cannot be found/retrieved.

Is it really right that I have to set a high limit to every single use case of "list"?

I would think that its only the limit for retrieved rows, but even though I am just looking for one or two entries in the table, to me it seems that I have to set the limit higher than the existing rows in the table.

What is the right way of dealing with this? Shall I always just set a really high limit-number wherever I use "list"?

Thanks a lot for any advice as well as examples on how you are using it.
