Hi Kyle,

Thanks for your question!

The starter license has restriction with the number of jobs and not with the number of builds. One can't have more 10 jobs in his/her Bamboo.

Quoting from the official page (More info here):

With a Bamboo Starter License, you are restricted to 10 build Jobs, and 0 remote agents, but can run unlimited local agents.  A Job is a single build unit within a Plan. One or more Jobs can be organized into one or more Stages. Given a 10 Job limit, you may distribute your Jobs between up to 10 Plans - for example, one Job per Plan or all 10 Jobs within one Plan. There is no limit on the number of times a Plan is built/executed.Please note that use of the Plan Branches has a multiplicative effect on the number of jobs configured, and therefore an effect on the 10 jobs cap. For example, a plan with two jobs that is building against a total of three branches (the plan's original branch, plus two additional branches) will contribute 6 jobs toward the limit.

Hey Robhit

Thanks for the response i do understand the limit of no more then 10 but as i stated in the original post i only have nine so i should not be seeing this messages and my builds should still continue to work ( refer to screenshot below)

Or are they now limiting you to 10 stages ? eg 1 plan has 2 build stages ?

It depends on the number of individual jobs. How many individual jobs you have in each of the plans? Count it and if it is more than 10 then we are hitting this restriction.

as mentioned in my previous comment:

 Given a 10 Job limit, you may distribute your Jobs between up to 10 Plans - for example, one Job per Plan or all 10 Jobs within one Plan. 

Also, check if you have branches in your plans:

Branches has a multiplicative effect on the number of jobs configured, and therefore an effect on the 10 jobs cap. For example, a plan with two jobs that is building against a total of three branches (the plan's original branch, plus two additional branches) will contribute 6 jobs toward the limit.
