Why do I get 'You have reached the max limit of your current API Limit for AppSail' or API_LIMIT_REACHED when I deploy a new AppSail service?

This error means your Catalyst project already has 5 AppSail services, which is the number a project can have by default. It refers to the count of services, not to how often you deploy.

1. Open your project in the Catalyst console, go to Serverless → AppSail and check which services exist. Delete any you no longer need.
2. Put further services in another Catalyst project, if they don’t need to share one.
3. If you need more services in one project, contact Catalyst support with your project ID, the number of services you need and why they must be separate, for example isolation between tenants or brands. Support can raise the limit for the project, and the new limit covers both the Development and Production environments.
