Yeah this lives between bug and ux.

On one hand it only impacts the UI of Discourse, on the other hand it is buggy to show a number that we know is not correct.

I think the simplest fix on our side is to select 51 and then show the text “50+” in the UI if we get 51.

It feels in the realm of #pr-welcome, but I will leave @lindsey to triage and decide.
