Isn't SSE limited to like 12 tabs or something? I remember vividly reading about a huge limitation on that hard limit.

6 tabs is the limit on SSE. In my opinion Server Sent Events as a concept is therefore not usable in real world scenarios as of this limitation or error-detection around that limitation. Just use Websockets instead.

that's an http 1.1 only limitation. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent...

Ahhh

HTTP2 is limited to 100.

This is a misinformed take. H2/H3 gives you 100+ connections. Even then you only need h2 from the proxy to the browser.

If you have to use H1 for some reason you can easily prune connections with the browser visibility api.
