Errors

Too many uploads in progress

This plan’s parallel upload slots are full — wait for a pending upload to finish or cancel one.

Too many uploads in progress

The member already has as many pending uploads as their plan’s parallel slots allow. Full text asks them to wait for a current upload to finish.

Why this happens

ul2_slots_* caps how many non-folder pending files can exist at once. Checked when starting a new upload (after the batch/queue depth check). Stale pendings are often released after ~15 minutes idle. If nginx edge slot limiting is on, the gateway may return a shorter “Too many uploads in progress” instead.

Diagnose and fix

1. Member: let an upload finish, or cancel stuck items, then retry.

2. Admin → Settings → Users & limits → File upload slots (ul2_slots_reg / _prem / _prem_pro). 0 = unlimited.

3. Per-user override if only one account needs more parallel uploads.

4. Check for stuck pending rows; cancel or wait for stale release.

5. Do not confuse with Upload queue limit (ul2_max_batch_* = how many pending total) or hourly Too many uploads rate limits.
