Unable to create more than 10000 issues in a Bitbucket repository

Summary

Bitbucket Cloud Issues is hard-limited to 10000 issues per repository. Once this limitation is encountered, no new Issues can be created.

Solution

As the 10000 Issues limitation is a hard limitation, older issues can be deleted to reduce the current number below 10000 and allow new issues to be created.

Alternatively, you can create a new Bitbucket Cloud repository as a workaround for the 10000 issue limit to clear out all of the issues. Here's a step-by-step guide on creating a new repository that will have no current issues:

Step 1: Create a New Repository

1. Once logged in, click on the + icon in the top navigation bar and select "Repository".

2. Fill in the necessary details for your new repository:

• Repository name: Choose a name for your new repository.

• Access level: Set the repository visibility (public or private).

• Include a README: Optionally, you can include a README file.

3. Click on the Create Repository button.

Step 2: Clone the New Repository Locally

1. On the repository page, click on the Clone button and copy the repository URL.

2. Open your terminal or command prompt.

3. Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository using the `cd` command.

4. Run the following command to clone the new repository:

Step 3: Update Git Config and Push to New Repository

1. Update the remote URL to point to the new repository. Replace <new-repository-url> with the URL of your new Bitbucket repository.

2. To verify that the remote URL has been updated, you can use the following command:

3. Push your local changes to the new repository

Once the new repository is updated with the previous clone, you can continue to work and create up to 10000 issues for this new repository.
