Error message

Conf.Language(84), Conf.Language(154)

What it means

After the underlying repo.UploadTagIndex fails with dejavu.ErrCloudBackupCountExceeded, UploadCloudSnapshot rewraps it as fmt.Errorf(Conf.Language(84), Conf.Language(154)): 'Backup failed: The cloud can only support backup up to 12 snapshots'. SiYuan's cloud service enforces a quota of at most 12 snapshots per backup; exceeding it makes the upload fail with this specific error before any other handling.

Solutions

1. Delete old cloud snapshots first (Settings - Account & Sync - Cloud backup / snapshot management, or /api/repo/removeCloudRepoTag) then retry the upload
2. Change the snapshot tag to one whose snapshot count is under the 12-snapshot quota
3. Upgrade the SiYuan membership if a higher cloud snapshot quota is available

Example fix

// before
await fetchPost('/api/repo/uploadCloudSnapshot', {tag: 'daily', id: id});
// after: prune before uploading
const logs = (await fetchSyncPost('/api/repo/getCloudRepoTagSnapshots', {tag: 'daily'})).data.logs;
if (logs.length >= 12) {
  await fetchPost('/api/repo/removeCloudRepoTag', {tag: 'daily'}); // or remove individual snapshots
}
await fetchPost('/api/repo/uploadCloudSnapshot', {tag: 'daily', id: id});

const logs = (await fetchSyncPost('/api/repo/getCloudRepoTagSnapshots', {tag})).data.logs;
if (logs.length >= 12) {
  throw new Error('Cloud snapshot quota (12) reached for tag ' + tag);
}

function isQuotaExceeded(err) {
  return err instanceof Error && /12 snapshots/i.test(err.message);
}

try {
  await fetchPost('/api/repo/uploadCloudSnapshot', {tag, id});
} catch (e) {
  if (isQuotaExceeded(e)) { await pruneOldCloudSnapshots(tag); await retry(); }
  else { throw e; }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling uploadCloudSnapshot when the cloud backup already holds 12 snapshots and no old snapshot is removed; repeated automated snapshot uploads against a free cloud account that has hit the retention limit.

Common situations: Long-running workspaces with many manual or tag-based cloud snapshots; scripts or plugins that upload cloud snapshots on a schedule without pruning; users who upgraded devices but not their cloud snapshot quota.
