This error indicates that the number range you are trying to use is nearing its limit or has reached a critical threshold, which can prevent the system from assigning new numbers.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Limit Reached: The number range defined for a particular object (like documents, orders, etc.) has reached its maximum limit.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not be properly configured, or the intervals may not be set correctly.
