Are Spawners Affected by Mob Cap?

They do count toward the cap, but a spawner can spawn despite the normal cap, as long as there are not too many mobs in its own range.

Do spawners have a mob limit?

There shouldn't be any limit to the amount that comes out of a spawner, so you can farm them for an indefinite amount of time.

What affects mob spawner rates?

To increase mob spawn rates, players have to light up all caves, ravines, and all other spawning areas in a radius of 128 blocks from the spawning platform. Minecraft only allows a limited number of hostile mobs to spawn.
