# Removes total count expansion for list API methods

## What’s new

You can no longer expand the `total_count` property in lists. New users can’t expand `total_count` on earlier Stripe versions. Attempting to expand `total_count` returns a `400` error with a `property_forbidden` error message.

## Why is this a breaking change?

We don’t allow requests for `total_count` expansion for list API methods. To use this version, you must migrate your integration to solely rely on the `has_more` list response field instead.

## Impact

If your integration uses `total_count` for pagination and it sends `include[]=total_count` or `exclude[]=total_count` API parameters with your API request, you need to update your pagination integration to rely only on the [has_more](https://docs.stripe.com/api/pagination.md?api-version=2025-03-31.basil#pagination-has_more) response field.

Some top-level API resources always return `total_count` values for some of their list fields. You might notice this if you don’t add `include[]=total_count` or `exclude[]=total_count` to your request but you still receive `total_count` data as a part of the response. These API resources aren’t affected by this version change.
