limit must be an integer in [1, ${REDDIT_SUBSCRIBED_MAX_LIMI

Error message

limit must be an integer in [1, ${REDDIT_SUBSCRIBED_MAX_LIMIT}].

What it means

ArgumentError thrown by parseRedditSubscribedLimit when the `limit` argument is not an integer in [1, 1000]. The limit controls how many subscribed subreddits to fetch (auto-paginating in pages of 100), and the library validates it up front to fail fast instead of mid-pagination.

Solutions

1. Pass an integer between 1 and 1000, e.g. limit=100
2. Use 'all-like' behavior by passing 1000 (the maximum) rather than 0 or a huge number
3. Trim/normalize the input: strip whitespace and units so Number(raw) is a clean integer
4. If sourcing limit from config/env, coerce and validate before calling, e.g. Number.isInteger(Number(v))

Example fix

// before
reddit subscribed --limit 0        // throws
reddit subscribed --limit 'all'    // throws
// after
reddit subscribed --limit 1000     // max valid value

const REDDIT_SUBSCRIBED_MAX_LIMIT = 1000;
function validLimit(v){
  if (v === undefined || v === null || v === '') return 100;
  const n = Number(v);
  return Number.isInteger(n) && n >= 1 && n <= REDDIT_SUBSCRIBED_MAX_LIMIT ? n : null;
}

function isValidLimit(v){
  if (v === undefined || v === null || v === '') return true;
  const n = Number(v);
  return Number.isInteger(n) && n >= 1 && n <= 1000;
}

try { await cli.redditSubscribed({ limit }); }
catch (e) { if (e.name === 'ArgumentError' && e.message.includes('limit must be an integer')) { console.error(`bad limit ${limit}; use 1-1000`); return; } throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: Passing limit values like 0, -5, 1001, 12.5, 'abc', or NaN to the reddit subscribed command; omitting it is fine (defaults to 100), but any present value must parse as a finite integer within range.

Common situations: Users assuming '0' means 'unlimited'; copying limits above Reddit's max; passing a string with whitespace or units ('100 subs'); config files with float or string values.
