TVDB matching capping at 100 episodes

So this just started happening to me today. When I try to match shows on TVDB, it won't go past the first 100 episodes of a series. This is in both the rename tab, and when I search for the show on the episodes tab. Using the moviedb as the agent will show the whole series.
Not sure if it's related, but I just renewed my FileBot license this morning (expired yesterday I believe). I have the official app purchased form the windows store, version 4.8.5. I bought the $6 yearly license and added it to filebot this morning.

Here's a screencap of the episodes screen, you can see where TVDB stops at 100 while MovieDB will return the whole series

I see! The episode listing is always limited to 100 episodes. That seems to be a TheTVDB server-side issue. Please try again 2-3 days later. No much we can do about that for now.

Ah, yeah does seem to be a tvdb api update causing this

Saw some other users with similar problems too. API currently unable to match anything past episode 100

Yes, this is particularly problematic for FileBot due to non-strict mode matching the "next best" thing, which goes out-of-whack if half the episode list is missing...
