Overview

As you build and run stories in Tines, you might run into the following error:

Could not create event – Story run has reached the maximum number of events in a single branch.

This article covers the cause and solution to this behavior.

Cause and solution

This error means the Tines 30k event limit has been reached for a single branch (this is limited to a particular story run). A branch means an individual path in a story run.

For example, in the screenshot below, the story run had 5 events, across 2 branches which each are 3 events long (as the execution splits along 2 paths after the first action). We typically see the error happen when there is an infinite loop involved in a story:

🟢 Solution: Navigate to the story the alert was created for, identify, and correct where a possible infinite loop might be happening.
