Hello @Zach Schauf 

This error means you've hit Trello's total list limit, and archived lists still count toward that capacity.

Go to Board menu > Archived items and switch to lists. You'll need to permanently delete some old ones to free up space. Just be careful: deleting a list wipes its cards too, so move important data to a separate board first.

Best,

Arkadiusz 🤠☀️
