In that case use the 'extras' array:

controller that uses the limit:

var $paginate = array(
  'limit' => 10,
  'max_records' => 50 // Note this extra value
);

model (or even in AppModel; will work fine)

class Something extends AppModel {
  // ...

  function paginateCount($conditions, $recursive, $extra) {
    $params = array_merge(compact('conditions', 'recursive'), $extra);
    $count = $this->find('count', $params);
    if (!empty($extra['max_records']) && $count > $extra
['max_records']) {
      $count = $extra['max_records'];
    }
    return $count;
  }

}

So if you set the key then it will limit the results, if you don't it
won't. Simple.
