 * [OSDEV-1158](https://opensupplyhub.atlassian.net/browse/OSDEV-1158) - The following features and improvements have been made:
     1. Introduced a new POST `/api/v1/production-locations/` endpoint based on the API v1 specification. This endpoint allows the creation of a new moderation event for the production location creation with the given details.
     2. Removed redundant redefinition of paths via the `as_view` method for all the v1 API endpoints since they are already defined via `DefaultRouter`.
+* [OSDEV-1468](https://opensupplyhub.atlassian.net/browse/OSDEV-1468) - Limit the `page` parameter to `100` for the GET `/api/facilities/` endpoint. This will help prevent system downtimes, as larger pages (OFFSET) make it harder for the database to retrieve data, especially considering the large amount of data we have.
 
 ### Architecture/Environment changes
 * [OSDEV-1170](https://opensupplyhub.atlassian.net/browse/OSDEV-1170) - Added the ability to automatically create a dump from the latest shared snapshot of the anonymized database from Production environment for use in the Test and Pre-Prod environments.
