Hi, It sounds like your compaction is not completing. After completion only the latest revision of each document is preserved. _revs_limit refers only to how many old _rev values are retained. Lowering this value will save some storage but can also make replication less efficient as a failure to find a common ancestor will cause couchdb to copy the document afresh.
TL;DR _revs_limit does not do what you think it does, couchdb is not a revision control system. B.
