Max automation error when max not reached

I only have 48 automations. Max is supposedly 100, but I cannot save a newly created automation and i get an error “maximum number of automations reached” but as I said I have less than half of the max. I see another person had a similar issue but no one responded. Advice?

Does the same error appear when you create an automation from another iPhone, iPad or Mac signed into the same Home? Check that all home hubs are updated, then restart them and try again. If every device reports the limit at 48, contact Apple Support with a screenshot before deleting automations or rebuilding the Home.
