Facets With Too Many Distinct Values Turn Off Automatically

An attribute row for style_code showing a Too many distinct values status badge, stats for 51,995 distinct values and ~1.0 products per value, and the facet_cardinality_exceeded diagnostics reason

Layers now automatically turns off storefront facets whose values are really just product identifiers, like SKUs or SEO titles. It disables a facet when a channel has more than 10,000 distinct values, or 1,000+ values averaging under 2.5 products each.

When this happens, the dashboard shows a Too many distinct values status and the product-search-diagnostics MCP tool reports the drop as facet_cardinality_exceeded, so you always know why. Re-enabling queues a fresh build, and Layers disables it again if the values still trip the limits.
