Hello all. I'm receiving an Error Config status under Value within the tag configuration. With the following message under Quality - "Error\_Configuration("Bad\_TooManyMonitoredItems: The request could not be processed because there are too many monitored items in the subscription.") I am within the limits of subscriptions (the opc server has no limits and source server has 2000 subscriptions remaining) I've also attempted to create new tag groups and move the tags+points into new groups but to no avail. Any tag that gets imported into ignition is currently throwing up this error config status even with a confirmed working config. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks ---

> [@raghbir\_dhillon](#): > > I am within the limits of subscriptions I don't think you are - Bad\_TooManyMonitoredItems only ever comes from the server, it's not something the client will ever set on its own. ---

~~Try splitting your tags into two or more separate tag groups. Each group will get its own subscription. You might be hitting an item count limit within that server on a per-subscription basis, separate from the overall limit for number of items.~~ Whoops, I see you've tried that. ---

I know this is pretty old but in case someone with the same issue stumbles upon this, I had the same issue on import or even manually changing a value within an OPC UDT structure and I was able to clear it by doing a start and stop of the gateway
