Max number of users when trying to add an existing user to an existing group?

Question

See image and title.  For some reason, trying to add a user to a group that I have just removed a user from gives me the message that I have reached the max users for my plan.  Aside from not knowing my plan had a max users, I am not adding a new user, just changing permissions group.  Any idea what could be happening here?

Hello @Alwathiqubellah Abumaali

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

This post is not about a limit on the number of users in a group. This post is about the overall limit on the number of users for a site.

The current limits on the number of users for a site for each plan are specified here:

However, if you have purchased a license based on a user license tier, then your limit may be lower. Your license tier would be visible on the Billing page in the admin hub (https://admin.atlassian.com).

I'm on a premium account and it looks like our group membership is capped out at 35,000. Is there anywhere that this information is listed and how do we go about exceeding that number?

One of my colleagues just asked much the same.  The problem is your plan, not the groups within it.

They were trying to add a user to a group, like you are, but the user had previously been disabled (left and rejoined), and the group they were trying to add to was a group named for "has application access".  They already had 50 users, so adding the old user back into the "can log in" would have taken them to 51, over their limit.
