It looks like that hard limit became a soft limit in August:

Hmm... I didn't know this. The last time I asked they said it would never happen. I was told the original reason was that all buckets had to have a unique name

I thought that too but I successfully raised our limit after they made it a soft limit, so give it a shot!
