INVALID_REQUEST

Error message

workspace can not be more than 10.

What it means

WorkspaceServiceImpl.createWorkspace enforces a per-account quota: MAX_WORKSPACE_PER_ACCOUNT (10). Before creating the workspace it counts existing workspaces for the account, and if workspaceCount > 10 it throws a BizException with ErrorCode.INVALID_REQUEST and the message "workspace can not be more than 10.". It is a business-limit rejection, thrown after the duplicate-name check (WORKSPACE_NAME_EXISTS).

Solutions

  1. Delete unused workspaces for the account until the count is below the limit, then retry.
  2. Use a different account (account_id) that is under the 10-workspace cap.
  3. If the limit is too low for your deployment, raise MAX_WORKSPACE_PER_ACCOUNT in WorkspaceServiceImpl or make it configurable.

Example fix

null
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

// Java
long count = workspaceService.getWorkspaceCount(accountId);
if (count >= 10) {
    throw new IllegalStateException("Account " + accountId + " reached the 10-workspace limit");
}

Try / catch

try {
    workspaceService.createWorkspace(workspace);
} catch (BizException e) {
    if (e.getMessage().contains("more than")) {
        // surface quota UI / offer cleanup of old workspaces
    }
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling createWorkspace for an account that already owns 10 or more workspaces (count >= MAX_WORKSPACE_PER_ACCOUNT, so > 10 triggers once the account holds 11+... practically, hitting the cap while creating the 11th). The check runs only after the workspace name passes the duplicate-name check.

Common situations: Automation or test scripts that create workspaces in a loop without cleanup; CI environments sharing one account and accumulating workspaces; multi-tenant apps provisioning a workspace per customer on a single admin account.
