Is the 30/60 group limit still working?

Leo Reynolds says:

Group limits clarification from flickr posted to The Help Forum on 16 November 2017
===================================================================
For Pro users, you will be able to submit a photo to up to 60 groups.

For non-Pro users, you will be able to submit a photo to up to 30 groups.


If you attempt to add to more groups, you will see an error message “Photo in maximum number of groups”.

Invitations to add your photo to a group don’t count towards this limit, and any photos currently in greater than 60 groups will remain in those groups.

===================================================================

I'm seeing newly uploaded photos from non-Pros in way more than 30 groups and I'm seeing newly uploaded photos from Pros in way more than 60 groups. Has group limits been turned off or are there some groups sending out loads of Invites?

Yes, the limits are still there. However, each individual group is allowed to exempt themselves from those limits so that people may post to their group regardless of how many other groups the picture is in.
edit to add - That's the way I see it, I'm sure someone will give a better explanation.

That is right. If you look at your group’s /admin/throttle/, the third bullet point will allow you to bypass that limit for your group.

Lots of people search out the groups that ignore the 30/60 limit and are thus able to put their photos in hundreds of groups.

There are also a lot of photos that were added before the limits were implemented.
