Add option to disable auto-download when X chapters are unread #122

Describe your suggested feature

Like many, I like to add series I wish too read. I also love the features Auto-Download and Download-Ahead. However I would prefer series that have over 10 unread chapters to not Auto-Download new chapters. A simple option to filter these out would be great. Then I do not have to create custom categories for these.

It already exists, you can pick which categories to auto-download. You just need one category, no need to worry about creating custom ones

This is not a request to pick categories to auto download but instead to limit the amount auto downloaded even if a entry is in a auto download enabled category. ~https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi/pull/7091~ http://web.archive.org/web/20240130122558/https://git.mihon.dev/tachiyomi/tachiyomi/pulls/7091 There was already a pull request to close this in original repo.

I was going to open an issue, but this is what I want.

I want a cap on downloads. I don't want to continue downloading 100 chapters on some series I forgot about. Just cap at the ten and I'll use the download while I read function.

I'm aware I can do something vaguely similar by preventing it from checking for new chapters at all if there's unread chapters. But, for many series, I prefer to read them in bulk, so I'd like to know how many unread chapters there are available without downloading all 100.

I am aware I can make custom categories, such as pause, and I have done so, and it does pause downloads. However, if I'm busy for a week and don't read anything, and someone does a mass release, I'll get a crazy amount of downloads. This is not ideal.
