Says I have hit the Channel Limit But I haven't
ChrisWebbTechI was hoping that was it, but the box isn't checked. The message is "This Team already has the max number of channels."
When they first changed it so the channels could be deleted and the names would be released after a certain length of time I tried recreating a channel with the same name of one that had been deleted months prior and I would get the error that the name was already taken even though that channel was nowhere to be found. I've had this Team for years now. I'm not sure how long but I did jump in pretty early on. I'm wondering if the fact that it was created so long ago means I have some embedded but deleted channels.
Either way, I am in a bind here. I have so many functions tied to this Team for my team that I cannot simply create another one without days of work and major disruption and confusion.
It’s possible similar to chats that they take the limit at time of creation so you might be at the 120 limit it was before. Not sure if they can make that change back end or not but just a hunch of what it possibly could be. Cause group chats created before the increase still could only grow to the limit when it was created.
Thanks! I have done that now with out IT department and I bet that is the case. I may be in a bind for a couple weeks until the ones I just deleted clear out. I would just reuse channels but the channels are what drive my folder structure in SharePoint and they do not take kindly to being renamed (unless that has been fixed).
- Na not fixed yet. Have you gone in and deleted them from the deleted section? Pretty sure you can perma delete ones to force them to go away.
- Where? Not from Teams
