For Error 1: The maximum disk usage quota for this user has been reached. Use the Job Manager to delete some of your saved search results.

Work around would be to increase disk usage quota for user in authorize.conf .

srchDiskQuota =

By default it is 100 MB, you can set it to higher value.

For Error 2: The maximum number of concurrent historical searches for this user based on their role quota has been reached

Work around would be to increase search job quota for the user:

srchJobsQuota =

* Maximum number of concurrently running historical searches a member of this role can have. * This excludes real-time searches, see rtSrchJobsQuota. * Defaults to 3.

Increase it to a higher value
