For instance, I encountered this issue when I was reading:

I couldn’t find this specific setting on my hosted instance. This made me wonder how administrators are supposed to become aware of this limit. They might visit this forum to discover that others had the same problem^[1] and might stumble upon a comment suggesting, “I believe the limit is 10,000,” which references a post from 2018. However, this still leaves uncertainty regarding any changes to the setting since then.

It would significantly improve user experience if settings that are not permitted to be altered were still visible. This way, users would be informed about their configuration and understand that these settings are fixed, rather than being left with the impression that they are unable to locate a specific setting.
