 All Payload APIs support the pagination controls below. With them, you can create paginated lists of documents within your application:
 
-| Control | Description                             |
-| ------- | --------------------------------------- |
-| `limit` | Limits the number of documents returned |
-| `page`  | Get a specific page number              |
+| Control      | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| ------------ | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `limit`      | `10`    | Limits the number of documents returned per page - set to `0` to show all documents, we recommend `pagination: false` alongside with this in order to improve performance of returning all documents |
+| `pagination` | `true`  | Set to `false` to disable pagination and return all documents                                                                                                                                        |

 ### Disabling pagination within Local API
 
 For `find` operations within the Local API, you can disable pagination to retrieve all documents from a collection by passing `pagination: false` to the `find` local operation.
+
+### Difference between `limit: 0` and `pagination: false`
+
+While you may get the same results when passing just `limit: 0`, the actual logic of pagination is separate and is still being run unless you use `pagination: false`, instead you just get all the results on page 1.
+
+For optimization, we recommend using `limit: 0` with `pagination: false` to avoid running the pagination logic. This is especially important when using `find` with a large number of documents, as it can significantly improve performance.
