Even though I removed members, I am still unable to add new people to the board. Neither through the invite link or through accepting their requests.

Hi!
The issue is related to your Workspace limits, not just the individual board limits. Free Workspaces have a maximum limit of 10 total collaborators. Removing a member from a board does not automatically remove them from the Workspace.

Steps to resolve:

1. Go to your Workspace "Members" tab on the left sidebar.
2. Check the total count of Workspace members and Guests.
3. Remove users directly from this Workspace level.
4. Check the "Pending" section and cancel any unaccepted invitations, as they also consume member slots.
