How do I load multiple (of the same) animations without hitting the 256 animation limit?

I have a turn-based game that has animations based on different game states. However, this can prove troublesome for when a lengthy battle occurs, and when 256 of the same animations are loaded over time.

I have these two functions:

function LoadAnimation(AnimationObject, Target)
	if (BattleInfo.MemberAnimations[Target]) then --if the humanoid was already used as a target
		if (BattleInfo.MemberAnimations[Target][AnimationObject]) then --check if the humanoid already loaded the animation object
			return BattleInfo.MemberAnimations[Target][AnimationObject] --return the animation track if so
		else --otherwise
			
			BattleInfo.MemberAnimations[Target][AnimationObject] = Target:LoadAnimation(AnimationObject) --make animationobject point to the animationtrack 
			return BattleInfo.MemberAnimations[Target][AnimationObject] --return the animation track
		end
	else --if the humanoid is fresh
		
		BattleInfo.MemberAnimations[Target] = {}; --set the humanoid to point to an animation storage table
		BattleInfo.MemberAnimations[Target][AnimationObject] = Target:LoadAnimation(AnimationObject) --save animation to table
		return BattleInfo.MemberAnimations[Target][AnimationObject] --return animation
	end
end

function StopAnimation(Name, Target)
	-- MemberAnimations -> [Table (Humanoid Object/Target)] -> AnimationObject Name == AnimationTrack
	--MemberAnimations -> Table -> Animation Object -> Animation Track
	
	
	
	for i, v in pairs(BattleInfo.MemberAnimations[Target] or {'None'}) do
		print(i, v, Name, Target)
		print(v.Animation, Name, v.Animation == Name)
		if Name or (v.Animation and v.Animation == Name) then
			v:Stop()
			return true, warn('Found animation', Name and Name.Name or 'undefined', 'and stopped it.')
		end
	end
	return warn('Couldn\'t find animation', Name)
end

The issue with StopAnimation is that it doesn't remove all links to AnimationTracks within the table. I use userdata-based indices for my table, but that shouldn't be an issue because the humanoid never dies, so I doubt it has a chance to modify itself in such a way that it couldn't be recognized as the same table index as the one at the start of the battle.

The issue with LoadAnimation is that some animations refuse to play after one other animation is played.

For example, I have two animation objects: one that plays when their weak point gets hit, and the one that plays after (and loops) to indicate that they're down and cannot act. When they get back up (which is shown by another animation), the two animation objects refuse to play on the characters/enemies again.

Is there any way to fix these issues? Is there any way to improve my code? Please let me know.
