@jip31  some limits applied in limits conf and role level in autorize conf example max concurrent searches, disk quota. It's hard to investgate without hands on system. Admin is the right person.

Hi @jip31 

That means you are hitting limits set to the role/user by Admins. There could be many reasons your admin would be able to help!
