 Here is recommendations from block chain support:

-Hi,
 
-Generally, there should not be more than 20 unpaid addresses when working with this API. This is because this API leverages BIP 44 (as defined here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki ).
+ Hi,
 
-I've created a google doc to help you recover the funds used. You should switch to a new account for this API, and please try to remain under the 20 address gap: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-2l6xOqcbjs9QWEqSh72RD1d8EEdvG_hQuEXw_f_o6w/edit?usp=sharing

+advice about possible solution
+
+ Hi,
+
+ I will make a note to update the documentation so it is more clear.
+
+ 1) we are working on deploying a fix that will do exactly that - prevent you from going past 20 consecutive empty addresses. This should be released in the coming weeks.
+
+ 2) You can check the most recent 20 addresses that you've used for any balance using our addressBalance endpoint (found here: blockchain.info/q ). In regards to creating new xPubs, you can either go through a more manual approach and go into the web wallet, and generate many xPubs to put into your code to cycle through. Or, if you want a more programatic approach, you can look into implementing our wallet module so you can generate new xPubs on the fly: https://github.com/blockchain/service-my-wallet-v3
