Limit is more familiar to people because of SQL use, and this is a similar role.Just for consistency with total parameter of all page and site methods which is confusing.
limit is used for api query limits reading data in one bulk. But unfortunately this is not consistent in api.py
This is similar to comment/summary/message issue. If standardizing, I would choose limit as it is more apropriate semantically (at least in my country). Limit is understood as an end in the middle of the work, whereas total is often understood as a selection (part, compilation) from the group
