All the items over the 999 limit seem to be locked on the amount we had at the time this change was introduced. I tried destroying clay - started out with 1498, selected 5 to be destroyed and even though I got the "You have destroyed 5 Clay(s)." message, I still have 1498. Did the same with Laminaria and got the same result: message says I've destroyed 11, but the change hasn't happened.
Then I tried it with hops (which is nowhere near the limit) and it worked as it should.
The same thing is with the amount I've put in trades. Before, everything I put into a trade got immediately subtracted from my total, but now the numbers remain unchanged for all the items over the 999 limit.
I did some crafting earlier today and I think the same thing might have happened there - items getting used, while the amount I have stays the same - but I'm not entirely sure, as I wasn't really paying attention to numbers before.
ETA: And apparently I just sold 200 wood, but I still have 2013 - exactly the amount I had the moment the cap was implemented.
