Additional info

I couldn't find any documentation about it. How high is the limit and can it be increased?

[tcitworld]

I couldn't find any documentation about it. How high is the limit and can it be increased?

See https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/27/admin_manual/groupware/calendar.html#rate-limits

nextcloud/calendar#5792 is the issue to have nicer details

[JB1985]

Thanks, but the documentation is probably not completely correct.

The "--type" option does not exist.

It seems that --type is not supported, see:
nextcloud/documentation#9494

[JB1985]

Please reopen this Bug report @tcitworld :

It set to -1:

`~ # sudo -u web1 php /nextcloud/occ config:app:set calendar maximumCalendarsSubscriptions --value=-1

Config value maximumCalendarsSubscriptions for app calendar set to -1
`
But still I get the error:

,"File":"/nextcloud/apps/dav/lib/CalDAV/Security/RateLimitingPlugin.php","Line":106,"message":"Calendar limit reached","exception":{},"CustomMessage":"Calendar limit reached"}}

[gramels]

same behaviour here

[gramels]

calenders can be created with occ dav:create-calendar though

[ChristophWurst]

The "--type" option does not exist.

My bad. The options exists only in Nextcloud 29+. I will adjust the docs.

[ChristophWurst]

I have tested with a production instance and can create calendars just fine.

The unit test #44118 will confirm this programmatically.

[ChristophWurst]

sudo -u web1 php /nextcloud/occ config:app:set calendar maximumCalendarsSubscriptions --value=-1

it is sudo -u web1 php /nextcloud/occ config:app:set dav maximumCalendarsSubscriptions --value=-1. my bad². The config option is for dav, not calendar.

[tcitworld]

Edited your comment as the app is dav, not calendar.

[JB1985]

Works now with "dav" instead of "calendar".
