Thank you,

Hello Malloy993950 ,

You've hit a SharePoint limit on the view threshold, this is 5000 items. I'm not sure how or why that limit is being hit when creating a site. Do you have lots of projects / groups on that site collection? It's probably worth opening support ticket with Microsoft via your M365 tenant - you're M365 admin will be able to do you (if you've not got the correct access).

We have about 2450 Projects in PWA.
I have created a project with the default site template with standard enterprise project type and we got the same errors.

Any suggestions?

  Best to open a support ticket on your M365 tenant so that Microsoft can investigate.
