Is it a bug or is it a feature? If it's a bug are you working on it? If it is a feature does it have to do with the memory leak? Is that why you limited the size of the maps or is that a bug? Player base is getting a bit worked up as expected and we are worried about losing players because they want answers and aren't getting much.
PC 24 max players?

I'm going to guess it's a feature.
Only 8 players max have ever been supported. For a couple of years it's been well know that going over 21 active players online at once will have a very large tendency to cause problems. Not to even mention the issues caused by hitting the RAM caps with Unity in a16 with that many players online.
My guess is that it's for stability testing in Experimental. Reporting bugs when you are grossly exceeding what is supported isn't a good idea, and this will help to keep it under control somewhat. I'd say to be thankful that they didn't cap it lower at a number like 16, or even 8.

None taken, and I understand. It would be interesting to have hard data on this decision.
Do understand that that this isn't just a wild guess. I'm basing this theory on spending over four years providing support for the game.
