Comment (by gibrown):

 Ya that is correct. The exact limits are here:
 https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-queries/
 For all intents and purposes wp.org is treated as another VIP (though it
 is kinda a special case).

 Additional background:
 - this limit was always there (ES has a default limit of 10k), but we were
 just failing the query rather than returning an error message that really
 said you were hitting a limit.
 - We decided to set a limit of 9k for `from` and 1k for `size` rather than
 the more complicated (to explain and check) limit on each separately
 - Latest Jetpack (5.8 just released) issues a 404 when this condition is
 hit. We are running an old fork of that code, but updating to the real
 code would be another good way to fix this.

 That patch looks good to me for an immediate fix.
