Quick clarification in case it helps folks here: the message limit applies to the Entry edition. The Team Edition (TE) does not have this limit and remains free/self-hosted.

If you’re currently on Entry and want to move to TE, there’s a migration guide here with step-by-step instructions: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration-guide/onboard/mig...

Hope that helps clear things up.
