Looks like the Nintendo Switch limits you to 10,000 screenshots stored on the micro SD card, regardless of how much free storage space is available. That sounds like a lot, and I suppose it is a lot, but somehow my daughter and I hit that limit in the span of just a little over 21 months.
In the 3.5 years before that, we'd done about 7,800 screenshots, moved to an alternative subdirectory.

The 12-hour journey included a whale encounter and demonstrated fungi's potential as a biodegradable plastic alternative, though the 135-pound mushroom kayak remains heavier than commercial vessels.

Sydney’s First Upcycled Skyscraper Named Finalist for 2025 Earthshot Prize | Happy Eco News
Sydney’s Quay Quarter Tower, the world’s first upcycled skyscraper, has been named a finalist for the 2025 Earthshot Prize. The retrofit retained 65% of its structure, avoided 12,000 tonnes of embodied carbon, and doubled usable space. The project proves that reusing old towers can replace demolition as a sustainable, profitable alternative.
