Multi-select fields max 100?

I thought Multi-Select fields would allow more than 100 choices in the list, but its seems there is a max. Is this a change from prior? I feel like it used to allow many more in the list with a max of 20 selections. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this if I want a multi-select situation for the same field? I know I can create several Multi-select fields and distribute among those but was looking for a one field solution if possible. Thanks.
