YouTube Errors
Why am I seeing a "Limit Exceeded" error on YouTube?
YouTube restricts how many videos you can upload in a short period, but these limits aren't officially disclosed. If you're uploading more than 20 episodes in a row, you may start seeing issues. If this happens, wait a few hours and try again, or wait until the next day if the error continues.
