Hi Jared. what output do you get from the command
dconf dump /org/gnucash/GnuCash/history/ it should return a list of the recently opened files and one integer parameter, maxfiles=n if that is not set to your liking, a command like dconf write /org/gnucash/GnuCash/history/maxfiles 8 might help. plus restart GC, of course.
