# Projects Max Exceeded
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/mastercard-developers-api/documentation/errors/projects-max-exceeded/index.md

You have exceeded the number of projects you are allowed to create.

### Solution {#solution}

The number of projects a user can create is limited. Ensure that the number of projects you wish to create does not exceed this limit. The following project limits apply per user account. If you need to increase the limit, please contact your service support.

|   **ProjectType**    | **Default Project Limit** | **Maximum Project Limit** |
|----------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
| OPEN_BANKING_PARTNER | 30                        | 1800                      |
| OAUTH10A and MTLS    | 180                       | 500                       |

Note: You can create a maximum of 500 projects using OAUTH10A and MTLS combined. You can distribute these projects in any proportion, such as having 200 MTLS projects and 300 OAUTH projects.
