Are the upcoming episodes on the same channel as the SP?  Keep in mind
that 'Show Upcoming Episodes' shows *any* episodes on any channel, not
just those that fall under the SP.  So make sure the episodes you're
seeing are airing on the same channel you've set the SP on, or that
would explain why the SP doesn't record them.

Then is the SP set to 'First Run Only'?  If it is set to first run
only and the episodes are in the guide data as repeats, they won't
record.

Finally a rare possibility is that the series ID number in the guide
data (not a human readable item) was changed for some reason.  The
TiVo doesn't actually look at the human readable series name, but
rather the ID.  You could have an SP for Series A which was setup with
ID number 1, but if they change it to ID number 2 and keep the name
Series A, it won't match and won't record.

This is very, very rare, but it happens.  I saw it recently with one
of my SPs, I think it was Man Made Marvels on the Science Channel.  I
had an SP for it, but noticed new episodes not recording.  So I
created a new SP and the new one worked.  But it *looked* the same as
the old one.  This is only the second time in 6.5 years of using TiVo
that I've seen this, and the first time was when they were messing
with the name for 'Enterprise' aka 'Star Trek: Enterprise' and they
flopped the ID around for a bit.

So if you're sure it is on the same channel and none of the settings
are preventing the recording, you can try creating a new SP and
deleting the old one.

> Is there a maximum # of items you can have a Seasons Pass for?

No - well, if there is it is a big number.  I've had over 100 SPs, and
I've seen others with close to 200, working fine.
