Outlook for Mac event hard limit hiding events with a '+' in all views

Since a recent update, Outlook for Mac now rolls up events into a plus(+) button on Day, Three Day, Working Week and Month views.

What this means is that despite having plenty of space to show events, they're hidden behind another button. I have a very busy calendar and mostly use the month view - I have a portrait monitor particularly used for the calendar at the office which is now totally useless because all the real estate that aspect creates is wasted.

I don't understand what added value the + button brings when there is space to be used and I have tried and failed to find something I can configure to change it!

Month View Example - Seems to have a 7 event hard limit

Day View Example - Hard limit of three for all day events

I would also love love love the ability to scroll through months in month view - for example, in the last two weeks of a month I want to be viewing the next 4-5 weeks not two weeks in the past I don't care about and only two weeks into the future. Seems like an easy ask?
