Lemma 110.53.1. Let $S$ be a nonempty scheme. There exists a stack in groupoids $p : \mathcal{X} \to (\mathit{Sch}/S)_{fppf}$ such that $p$ is limit preserving on objects, but $\mathcal{X}$ is not limit preserving.
110.53 Limit preserving on objects, not limit preserving
Let $S$ be a nonempty scheme. Let $\mathcal{G}$ be an injective abelian sheaf on $(\mathit{Sch}/S)_{fppf}$. We obtain a stack in groupoids
\[ \mathcal{G}\textit{-Torsors} \longrightarrow (\mathit{Sch}/S)_{fppf} \]
over $S$, see Examples of Stacks, Lemma 95.14.2. This stack is limit preserving on objects over $(\mathit{Sch}/S)_{fppf}$ (see Criteria for Representability, Section 97.5) because every $\mathcal{G}$-torsor is trivial. On the other hand, $\mathcal{G}\textit{-Torsors}$ is in general not limit preserving (see Artin's Axioms, Definition 98.11.1) as $\mathcal{G}$ need not be limit preserving as a sheaf. For example, take any nonzero injective sheaf $\mathcal{I}$ and set $\mathcal{G} = \prod _{n \in \mathbf{Z}} \mathcal{I}$ to get an example.
Proof. See discussion above. $\square$
