# 50436: Participant limit exceeded for group conversation

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

There is a limit to how many participants can be active in the same conversation at once. Adding this participant would exceed that limit.

### Possible causes

* You may have failed to remove old participants in a long-running conversation.
* You may have reached an edge-case in your application that creates unusually large conversations, in excess of the limit.

### Possible solutions

* Drop another participant from the conversation before adding new one.
