When your ACF Repeater exceeds more than hundreds of rows, ACF Repeater will only save the data up to certain point and discard the rest of it. This issue is caused by PHP’s max_input_vars, max_input_nesting_level, post_max_size and max_input_time. To fix this issue, we just have to increase our PHP configuration to a higher level.
