Based on the research and the error message you're seeing, I can provide some clarity: 1. Yes, this is a legitimate limit implemented by Prefect Cloud. The error message indicates you've hit a limit of 5 deployments in your workspace, which is part of Prefect Cloud's tier-based system. 2. Your workspace appears to be on a plan that has a 5-deployment limit. This is likely the free tier or starter plan limitation. 3. To resolve this, you have a few options: - Upgrade your plan by visiting the link provided in the error message: https://app.prefect.cloud//organization/61ab7041-3481-49b1-b2cf-65b336dcb79a/tier-limits/upgrade - Delete any unused deployments to make room for new ones - Contact your account administrator if you're part of an organization While I couldn't find the exact date when this specific limit was introduced (as tier limits have evolved over time), this is part of Prefect Cloud's tiered pricing structure that includes different limits based on subscription level. If you need to continue working within the current tier limits, I'd recommend: 1. Reviewing your existing deployments 2. Removing any that are no longer needed 3. Considering combining similar workflows into fewer deployments if possible Would you like me to help you explore how to list and manage your existing deployments to stay within the limits?
