Setting a limit for Autoscroller to stop after a designated amount of chapters would help in cases of a user unknowingly walking away from a device, falling asleep, or otherwise not actively reading for very long series. This would decrease the load for a source and keep the device from staying on when the user isn't actually reading.
Other details
I envision this being implemented in two ways, both of which would be next to the timing of the Autoscroll.
An input like the Autoscroll timing that you can manually enter a number. "Stop After ___ Chapters" or,
A dropdown that correlates to the total number of chapters in the entry (Ex: Manga has 26 chapters, so the Autoscroll limit dropdown goes from 1-26). "Stop After Chapter ___"
If a user designates that the Autoscroll should stop after 3 chapters have been "read," SY will stop after the 3 chapters. Similarly, if it is a dropdown and the user selects for the scrolling to stop after chapter 12, then the Autoscroll would stop after chapter 12.
It could have a message similar to how "Finished: Chapter 3/Next: Chapter 4" and instead of "There's no next chapter" or "Skipping X chapter, either the source..." it has a message displaying something akin to "Autoscroll limit reached. Finished Chapter 3" -- I'm unsure if this means there should be a hard stop like when there are no more available chapters. If there is a hard stop, having a button somewhere to continue reading would be good, but I think that would be a bit much.
