Description

Describe the bug

The documentation at https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/artifact#breaking-changes says that you are limited to 10 artifacts per job. Whereas the documentation at https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact?tab=readme-ov-file#breaking-changes says that the limit is 500.

To Reproduce

Compare https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/artifact#breaking-changes and https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact?tab=readme-ov-file#breaking-changes. One says 10 while the other 500.

Expected behavior
The action actions/upload-artifact uses the package actions/artifact. The expectation is that they both state the same limits.
