Headcanon: Changelings can only change so many times before they need to return to a pod to regenerate. Also, if they stay as something else for too long, they have a tendency to get stuck in that form. Changelings cannot change into an inanimate object or something they've never seen before.

That’s an interesting way of tackling it, and one I’d love to see used if it hasn’t already.  For Papi a changeling can take as many forms as they want so long as they have the magic to support the form, and though they can’t make themselves inanimate or inorganic, they can take on forms of their own creation and don’t necessarily need a reference to take a shape.
