Description
WP 5.7. Using the widget "Recent Posts." I have not altered the widget. On most pages it works, but when on category pages (archive pages for category), it ignores the "number of posts to show" option, and shows a long long list of posts.

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.
I could not reproduce the issue on a clean install. Does it still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme (Twenty Twenty-One) activated?
Looking at the widget code, the number of posts does not depend on category archives in any way, so this seems like a plugin or theme using a filter like pre_get_posts without targeting the right query.
