Row limit for custom commands

I've got a custom command that we're running over a large set of data. When I just run the part of the query up to right before the custom command, all of the data comes back. But as soon as I apply my command, only the first 50,000 rows are returned to the screen. Looking at the docks, I found that there is a "maxinputs" parameter in commands.conf, which I increased, and that searchresults::maxresultsrows in limits.conf also can have an effect, so I increased that as well. However, the search still only returns the first 50,000 lines. Is there another configuration that I'm missing that needs to be adjusted? Or is this a fixed limit that Splunk applies?

This is probably not relevant any more but for anyone who's looking for this... I had chunked = true in my commands.conf and I got only 50,000 results. After setting this to false I got back all my results.
