Can speak to no one else, but in the cases I am encountering, there is progress being made. Speaking personally raising it from 10 to say 20, would likely solve the issue for me at least.

Not to a 1,000! A redirect loop that long is likely to be treated as a denial of service attack, even if it is, ultimately the server's fault.

Before upping the limit in this specific case, you should make an attempt to see if it is actually making progress on each redirect, rather than looping.

I admit I'm surprised that gmail found a way to break even a limit of 10.
